1. Reflection Paper (Week 1) – You will start the course by developing a reflection paper. The purpose of the reflection paper is to identify your career objectives, summarize how the MSIS program has helped you achieve those objectives and how the knowledge acquired relates to the targeted workplace, and set the framework for developing a résumé and cover letter as well as selecting five required assignments to be included in the development of your portfolio. Further, the reflection paper will represent a value-adding tool to your instructor in assessing your communication skills, critical-thinking skills, and specialization expertise.
