Question Description
Consider stress, coping, and health.
- Write a 4-5 page, double-spaced paper to demonstrate your critical reflection on the concepts, theories, arguments, and/or conclusions presented in the readings and class for this topic.
- Your reflections/analysis should be sufficiently specific to demonstrate that you have carefully read the material. While you should review the key concepts, your paper should NOT be simply a summary of the readings -instead, it should include your reaction to the readings.
- Think about what you agreed and/or disagreed with. Think about questions that were left unresolved.
- In addition, excellent papers are those in which ideas from the new readings are integrated with previous readings, class discussions, and personal experiences.
- Use your best critical thinking skills! Students should express their thoughts and ideas, and develop coherent and well-drawn-out arguments or statements.
