Reading Material needed for the assignments :
Grant, A. (2021). Think again.
● Chapter 11: “Escaping Tunnel Vision: Reconsidering Our
Best-Laid Career and Life Plans”
● Epilogue
● Actions for Impact
Part A:
The acts of philosophizing and “thinking again” are best accomplished through discussion,
conversation, and sometimes even debate. This is how ideas become fleshed out and
conversations move forward. As such, students are expected to produce a robust, video
discussion based on their engagement with course materials. The primary qualifier for all
discussions is that they must have their foundation in either our philosophical or textbook
readings for the week and connect directly to one or more key excerpts, ideas, passages, or
concepts.
The prompt for this week’s original post discussion revolves around the following question(s):
What would you say is the most significant concept or compelling idea presented in this week’s
course material? Why do you hold that position?
Part B:
Complicated concepts require careful consideration. Students will
produce an Articulation Artifact showing their engagement with, and
mastery of this week’s readings and resources. For Week 5, students’
articulation artifacts will take the form of a personalized Google Web
Site. As in previous weeks, the goal is to demonstrate a reasonable level
of understanding for this week’s core theses, important premises, and
key concepts.
To create a site, first access the MACU Gmail app on OneLogin or sign
into your Google Drive account. From there, you will start a new site by
choosing a template in the top header row; for a visual overview, you
may also consult this helpful video on How to Create Your First Google
Site.
Note: Every time you make changes to your Google Site, you must
publish your site before your professor can see them. Once complete,
you will submit the website’s URL to the appropriate Dropbox either by
submitting a word document with the link on it or by copying and pasting
the link into the Dropbox folder’s comment box.
Part C:
After reflecting on the readings, resources, and other discussions, write a reflective journal entry
on the following question(s):
● What is on your mind from this week’s material and discussion?
● What captured your attention or made you think?
● What ideas or concepts did you find helpful, compelling, or valuable?
● What ideas or concepts did you find less helpful?
● What ideas or concepts did you find immediately applicable to your life, work, or
relationships? How will you apply them?
The Reflection must be 300 – 450 words, in paragraph formatting, and using 7th ed APA
guidelines: Times New Roman or Arial, 12-point font, double line spacing, a title page, in-text
citations, and a reference page.
