Write an assignment Relationship Reflection Paper in more tahn fifteen hundred words which is my final product in this course and synthesizes all of the information you learned through my interview interactions with your partner while also building on earlier written work. While your interview papers asked specific questions, this paper explores a more holistic view of your relationship with my partner and my relational process this semester. This exercise is designed to help me:
Express yourself in writing and produce a worthy final product;
Finalize and summarize your relationship process from the interview papers;
Gain a sense of the importance of communication in our relationships;
Use the lens of course material to critically examine a personal relationship; and
how to apply this process to other relationships in your life.
Questions to Answer (BEAR IN MIND this is not a comprehensive outline)
1. For the relationship reflection:
A. Why did you choose this person as your interview project partner, over all other relationships in your life?
Specifically, name at least one personal goal (beyond grading) in this assignment? Did you achieve these goals (and how so)?
B. What did you learn about yourself, your partner, and your relationship through this assignment? Discuss at least 3 things learned.
This can be content-related (ex. I learned that she hates eggs), but should generally relate to more abstract, internal, background, or personality-based issues (ex. My partner responds this way in conflict because when he was growing up, his mom...)
C. In what ways did you grow (together or apart) during this assignment? Name at least 1 way you grew closer together or grew further apart.
Consider: Which questions were your least/favorite to discuss and why? How did these affect you individually and/or relationally? Don't simply focus on the questions but the issues raised.
Did any of your own/partner's answers surprise you? Why?
D. Other Relationships (application)
What is 1 distinct way you now know (building from this assignment) that you would like to change/grow as a relational partner? How will this benefit you in your relationships?
If you were to dialogue with other relational partners in your life over these same questions, what would you do the same/different?
How will you apply what you have learned through this dialogic process to other relationships in your life?
2. For the theoretical analysis:
A. What two course concepts have you chosen?
B. What are these concepts? What do they mean? How do they work? Be specific
C. Explain specifically how these two course concepts relate to your relationship overall, or to one vital dimension of your relationship. Give a minimum of 2 clearly explained examples, preferably examples found in your previous papers (so that I'll readily know what you're talking about).
