10% of your final grade for a total of 30%. Purpose: This assignment is designed to assess your understanding of the guest speaker's presentation and your ability to reflect critically on the content. Focus on expressing your personal insights, highlighting connections to your studies, and providing specific examples or evidence to support your reflections. Focus more on yourself and the points of the speaker's presentation that resonated with you. The point of this assignment is to take time to reflect and create a detailed plan of action that allows you to monitor and evaluate your progress when networking. Structure: There will be 3 guest speakers this semester. For each, you need to write a reflection paper with the following guidelines. INSTRUCTIONS: Introduction (1 mark) ● Provide a brief introduction to the guest speaker, including their name, and area of expertise. Presentation Summary (4 marks) Discuss the main points of the speaker's presentation. O Explain why you feel these points are important. Personal Reflection (9 marks) Reflect on your personal experience during the presentation. This question relates to not only the speaker but to your personal experiences and whether the speaker helped you reframe your way of thinking. This question is more about yourself than the speaker. Some areas you can consider include the following: What challenges did the speaker face in their career journey and what did YOU learn from their challenges that you can apply in your own career journey? What aspect of the presentation resonated with you the most? Why? ● Did the speaker's ideas challenge any of your existing perspectives? How?
