·         Introduce yourself to your peers by sharing something unique about your background. Explain how you expect this course will help you move forward in your current or future career.

From the article we can see that reflection and reflexivity are closely related, but are different from each other.

·         Reflection is what you think.

·         Reflexivity is what you do with those thoughts to learn something new about yourself, the people around you, or even the world you live in.

As a reflexive exercise, share a time when you were in a public place and someone did or said something that you found upsetting. Without discussing the other person’s behavior, answer the following questions:

·         What was your initial reaction?

·         Were you aware of your thoughts at the time?

·         When did you become aware of your thoughts?

·         Reflect on this situation now. Could there have been other influences on your perception of the situation in the moment?

·         Given this reflection, what could you do differently next time?

·         Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates’ posts. Where appropriate, suggest strategies to help your classmates gain a deeper understanding of their story.
