In addition to the academics, learning about yourself and gaining insight is critical to your knowledge and will help you greatly in the field. Keeping this in mind, I am asking each of you to write four reflective journals during the semester. The first three entries will ask you to respond to specific prompts, and the remaining entry can be in any format you choose. There is no minimum or maximum page limit. The requirement is that you provide content that demonstrates that you are learning, reflecting on the reading, learning more about yourself and a gauge as to how this class is for you. In your reflective journal you are welcome to write about any of the following things:
Your thoughts on the reading and how you might apply that information in the field
If you are working with individuals impacted by a social problem.
What issues or struggles are coming up for you in field placement?

Thinking about current events and what impact social problems may have on these events.
Any reflections, thoughts, memories, about when you were affected by a social problem and how those insights might affect your practice
