REFLECTIONS – Guidelines
Objectives: The objective of this course is to be able to appreciate ethical issues that are evident / generated in World War I. Your reflection should demonstrate an understanding of ‘ethics’ in the context of World War I.
The Reflection is:
- personalized comment (you can use “I”)
- somewhere between an essay and a journal (use paragraphs but you don’t need to have an introduction, body and conclusion).
- designed to encourage you to explore your thoughts coherently and logically and to permit me to evaluate how the course content impacts on you.
Do’s and Don’t’s:
- Don’t just NARRATE or DESCRIBE
- Do try to understand an issue, phenomenon, etc.
- Do try to present your views, thoughts and opinions
