Assignment: Reflections and Letter
The reflections will give you a chance to reflect on the course and your growth, struggles, and hopes in a variety of contexts. You'll be reflecting for yourself, for your coach, and for me. Turn in Reflection Part A, Reflection Part B, and the Letter.
Reflection Part A: compose a two-page essay in which you will discuss how your personal and academic habits have changed or not changed over the course of the semester in light of your reflection on your values and on what is going on in your life and coursework. (Two pages is the minimum, but you can go longer if you'd like.) Please feel free to write this even more for yourself than for me though I'll be reading it, of course.
*This two page reflection should address your values. To discuss these meaningfully, connect various values you have to any or all of the following topics related to how you have been able to and are now able to live out those values:
o Your values and your time management and/or use of time
o Your values and your overall health (physical, mental, emotional, and social Note: If you prefer to include "spiritual" as a category of health, you are free to do so.)
o Your values and your study habits and/or note-taking
o Your values and your relationships with family, friends, and the wider community
o Your values and your attendance and participation in all of your courses
o Your values and your most important takeaways from our text and/or class
Letter to Coach: reflect on your experiences with your coach and coaching meetings.
Write a 1p. (minimum) personal letter to your coach (Write this as a letter with greeting and closing), writing in an appropriately friendly yet professional one-to-one tone (E.g. use "I" and "you"), and address the following questions:
o What has your coach helped you with this semester?
o What have you enjoyed most about your coaching meetings?
o What small, specific changes might your coach consider making about the way coaching meetings go in future in light of how your meetings went this semester?
o What are your coach's strengths and areas for continued growth?
o Have the coaching meetings impacted your practices as a student? If yes, howso?
o If you were to be in the role of a coach for a friend or maybe one day, even another student, what is one way you personally would want to emulate your coach? Why?
