Overview

Two points of your participation grade are determined by the four required reflections: each satisfactory reflection will earn 0.5 points.

Each additional reflection will count as an extra credit FNT. That is, 0.5 points will be added to the numerator but not the denominator of your homework grade. With a typical FNT denominator of ~60 points, you could increase your FNT score by about a quarter of a letter grade if you do all three extra credit assignments.

We will read and respond to your first reflection at the same time that we evaluate journal club presentations. If this reflection is too shallow, you will be given a warning; subsequently, a reflection that seems "phoned in" will earn half credit. We will read and respond to your other three reflections as a whole, at the end of the semester.

Mandatory response categories

You must complete these 3 reflections as well as 1 of the 4 options below. There is no word limit, per se, but you'll find that 200-300 words will be about right for conveying your thoughts here.



Optional response categories

Your 1 required reflection chosen from the list below should be completed by XYZ date. You may complete an additional 3 such assignments for extra credit, without repeating any category.
