Final Reflection (Unit 3)
The final guided reflection has essentially the same structure as the previous two with one exception: you will chose and compare an Asian practice from Unit 1-2 to a different practice from either Unit 3 or the course intro, and then further compare those two to your own daily practice. In this case, the goal of this exploration is to advise the person described in the scenario for the Application Exercise that considered your Unit 3 or intro practice.
Step 2: Peer Review
Once you have completed the GRW, once again you should bring a printed copy of it with you on the day it is due . As before, you will exchange your worksheet with another student who has chosen a source different than yours to focus on. You will have 5-7 minutes to read each others' papers and make marks and notes, as follows:
- 2-3 word comments next to exceptionally perceptive observations, clear responses, and/or insightful connections made (circled, underlined, &/or marked with stars).
- 3-7 word comments next to things you don't understand or that you think are not or may not be accurate (circle, underline, &/or marked with question marks).
When the time for reading has elapsed, exchange papers again and read the comments on yours. Then ask questions about anything you don't understand, and thank the person for their feedback.
Again you will likely not receive comments on the entire worksheet and will need to complete this stage outside of class. Remember that your options are:
- Make arrangements with your class partner to take home their paper and return it to them in the next day or two. (Be realistic about your schedule in making this commitment!)
- Find a friend or family member who would be willing to read and comment on the paper, using the guidelines above.
- Make an appointment to have your work reviewed at the Writing Center in Calaveras Hall, Room 128.
**THE ALL-IMPORTANT FINAL STEP** --> once you have received comments on the entire worksheet, on the back of the GRW, write an analysis of the comments you received (4-5 sentences) explaining (a) which of the comments you think are most helpful for planning your final paper and (b) what you plan to do address those comments.
A completed worksheet, turned in with a minimum of 2 markings/comments per page, with at least 3-4 critical, will receive 25 out of the total number of points for the assignment. No partial credit will be given; unreviewed or incomplete forms will be returned for completion.
