Reflection Paper

 

Cultivating positive relationships with supervisees and trainees can be difficult. Based on this week’s lecture, what do you think your greatest strength will be when developing and maintaining these relationships? What do you think your biggest challenge will be, and how will you use the concepts from this week’s module to overcome that challenge?

Remember to review the Reflection Paper rubric and instructions for reviewing a peer’s submission in the Important Course Information module.

Additionally, please include LINKS or DOIs to any articles or books referenced outside of the assigned readings as part of your APA citation (

as is required when using web-based referencesLinks to an external site.

). Failing to do so will result in point deductions.

Reflection Paper Rubric (25 points)
Reflection papers consist of brief responses to a prompt related to the information shared in each week’s module. Using
both the assigned materials and external references, the student should thoughtfully and thoroughly respond to the
prompt. During the following week, students will be required to provide feedback on a peer’s reflection paper, and will be
required to paste the text of their completed peer review into their own submission comments in Canvas, which will allow
for the instructor to grade more easily. Reflection paper assignments will be graded as follows:
