Writing a Reflection Paper<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Reflective writing is a significant part of intro-level environmental studies courses. Often, these stem from an assigned reading and are intended to have the student draw from the text to provide a personal response. These types of papers are designed to draw reactions, feelings, and analysis of the text in a more personal way, rather than to be in the format of a formal research paper. Other reflections can be assigned in response to a lecture, event, or experience (volunteering, internship, etc.). These are typically 2-3 pages, double-spaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
