The writing reflection for this week covers the lectures from Dr. Blake Bueltel and Dr. Jennifer Teves. This reflection is due on 3/31 at 12pm.

These reflections are an opportunity for you to share your own thoughts on these topics. Writing in the first person, taking divergent viewpoints, and bringing in ideas from outside of class are encouraged. Write as if you are targeting a public audience. Particularly insightful or convincingly contrarian statements might be shared with the entire class in lecture or in the course slack.

With this writing reflection, I would like you to reflect on the guest lectures and how they connect with what you've learned in class. Use the following questions as a guide:

1. Summarize the main purpose of the lecture(s) with at least three specific facts/details that the guest speaker provided related to the main topic. Describe how the lecture relates to what we learned in class. 
2. Highlight a detail mentioned by the guest speaker that either interested or surprised you, AND explain why it did.
3. Include an additional question related to the presenter’s topic.
4. Would you recommend that other students hear this presentation in the future? Explain why. 

Grading

Each reflection should be between 500 - 1000 words. It will be graded in terms of:

Does the reflection adequately address the prompt?

Does the reflection reference the readings and class discussions to support the writing?

Does the reflection exhibit thoughtfulness and creative expression?

Does the reflection utilize proper grammar and style?

Is the reflection an appropriate length?
