Assignment:
Critical reflection on how people with disability are treated in Canada throughout history and to what extent are they included when it comes to taking advantage of public infrastructures. How are they disadvantaged? How your understanding of disabled people was before and after you learned about how disadvantaged they are? Using the book called "A Brief Introduction to Law in Canada" by John Fairlie as the main source.
Criteria:
A Critical Reflection "is a process of identifying, questioning, and assessing our deeply-held assumptions - about our knowledge, the way we perceive events and issues, our beliefs, feelings, and actions. When you reflect critically, you use course material (lectures, readings, discussions, etc.) to examine our biases, compare theories with current actions, search for causes and triggers, and identify problems at their core."
Phase 1 (not graded and does not need to be part of your submission): Analyze
This is the work that YOU will do to help you form ideas and put together a good critical reflection. This is not work that you will submit nor that I will grade you on, but is how you prepare yourself. If you have not put the time in, it will show.
What?
- Describe the issue, including your role, observations, and reactions.
So what?
- try to understand and explain on a deeper level why the issue is significant or relevant
- Think about it from one or all of the following perspectives: academic, personal, systems (e.g. social systems and the structure of society).
Now what?
How will all the above shape your future thinking and behaviour?
Phase 2 (graded): Articulate
THIS IS WHERE YOU WILL BE GRADED - HOW DO YOU ARTICULATE THE ABOVE?
1. Do you make it clear early on what it is that your reflection is going to be focused on?
2. Do you clearly and thoughtfully explain your past thinking on the topic(s)?
3. What did you learn from the course readings/discussion/etc. (keep in mind that you need to be clear and organized about the perspective you are considering/analyzing)?
4. What are the implications of what you learned for yourself and maybe even for others? (see UWaterloo URL linked above for ideas)
- Clarity & Coherence: Did you write & revise? Was your submission formal (rather than casual), as it should be for a University course? Was your submission carefully crafted (well organized) and well edited?
