Reflection as a practice and a type of writing improves learning at all levels. In Ohio State's Bookends courses, reflection serves as a culminating activity to help students make connections, understand the significance of their learning, and transfer that learning to other contexts. But most of us don't naturally do reflection well, and the genre of "reflection" is unfamiliar to many students. This workshop is intended to help instructors define reflection for their discipline, understand what makes reflection activities effective and significant, and how to provide meaningful feedback to students' reflection attempts. Workshop content is appropriate for Bookends instructors, instructors of Gen Ed courses, and those wishing to integrate reflection at the assignment, course, or programmatic level.
