Students are required to use gender-neutral language. For instance, use human and humankind instead of man and mankind, and, when appropriate, she over he.

The purpose of these Reflection Responses is to encourage students to start thinking independently thought, to stay involved with the course and to keep on top of the readings. Unless specifically directed to do so in the question, answer the question in your own words and with your own reasoning, drawing on experiences that will be familiar to your reader. Aim to not just say what you think; instead, aim to say what is true and to persuade your reader of that truth.

Responses will be graded as Pass or Fail. A passing grade will answer the question, show independent thought, that the student has read the text, and that they have applied themself. Incomplete and incoherent responses will fail. A pass is worth 2% of the students final grade; a fail, 0%.

Students may be required to share their response on the course discussion board.
