07 Jul 1.3 Weekly Reflection
Each week (except Weeks 6 and 12), you will provide a brief, written reflection of the experiences with the week’s material and activities. These are vital components of the course as they connect your direct learning experiences to the material and activities from the given week. For the reflections, you are strongly encouraged to offer concrete details about what the learning experience meant to you — areas learned, confirmations of existing knowledge, the experiences of the reading, activities, and overall usefulness that a method may have for you and your potential interests. You will see that there are questions or reflection points provided for each weekly reflection. Be sure to use these questions to prompt discussion; however, you do not have to address them; so be sure to avoid general, unsubstantiated statements. Ensure your reflection specifically demonstrates the exact learning and related experiences of the week (stay focused and concise to these areas). These reflection papers may be written in the first person. Be sure to cite any references properly, but additional resources are not required for the reflection papers.
For this weeks reflection, consider the following points:
- Explain the research situations that may require you to use survey and correlational methods (be sure to give examples/be specific).
- Examine the limitations and benefits learned concerning these methods and their use.
- Analyze any ethical considerations with implementing these methods.
- Reflect on your experience with this weeks SPSS activity.
- Include any questions you may have for your professor.
