Reply on bi-unit reflection
Hi Jennifer,
I hope you are doing well during this stressful time. It is still hard to believe what is going on around the world and in our communities. The only thing we can do at this moment to protect ourselves and others is self-isolation, which I have to admit has been challenging to deal with for me. Thank you for sharing your bi-unit reflection with us. You have provided a well-structured essay with a good introduction, content delivery and conclusion. Personally, I enjoyed your reading since it had an exploratory tone as the course outline illustrated how it should be done. Your experiences are related to the course materials and the different topics that were learnt through week seven to week twelve. You have included most concepts in your essay.
You have a good flow of your work, and they are precisely written. Each point of your paragraph relates to the readings and watchable that was provided in the study. Your introduction wraps up all that you involved in your reflection. We as humans indeed revolve around education and incorporate all that we learn into our daily life. I agree with you that education should increase the knowledge, learning and understanding of an individual based on their surrounding and environmental cultures. However, to some extent, education should enhance the values and virtues of an individual. Your anecdote how you grew up is very touching. Formal education and informal education system are both important. Some values and attributes cannot be taught using formal training but can be imparted better to an individual using a friendly education system. I hope the course books helped you to discover the roles of each education system. You ought to have explained further how books can change the way we view the world, affect the way we judge rather than what we experience.
Your formatting is generally correct. You have cited all references that you have used in your reflective essay. Your reference list is in APA style that the course instructor advised us to use. You have included the page numbers of your findings and given the timings of the videos that you have used, which is recommendable. However, you ought to have included the page numbers at the top of each page of your reflection. Running head is only allowed on the first page. Besides, you have quoted texts that you have extracted directly from the passages. I loved how you gave your own insight and perspectives about the course readings, which is interesting to the readers. I hope the instructor will enjoy it too. Applying what you learnt in the classroom to the outside world is recommendable Jennifer. Having a conversation with peers and members of the family gives a clear insight into their experience and perspectives of things that we learn in class.
I love how you have concluded your work. It has summarized well what you have said in the body essay. It has brought the loose ends and body paragraphs together. Your second paragraph is too long; you ought to have separated it. Otherwise, you had a great reflection of the bi-units.
