- Sample
Trigger Questions
- The
purpose of the reflection paper is to view the learning processes that
have taken place throughout the course. In this paper you are
NOT
to dictate what was learned each week.
- NOT GOOD
- "This week I learned the difference between syntax
and logic errors as described on page 14 in the Big Java book."
- Rather, you are to write about your learning
processes for the particular week.
- "This
week two different types of errors were discussed. I had
expected
that error messages would always be given when an error occurred.
What I found, however, was that error messages are only given
for
syntax errors. In the event of a logic error the program must
first determine that there is an error and then figure out how to fix
it. This was quite an ah-ha moment for me. Now I
understand
why there are the potential for bugs when I buy software at the store."
- One of the course managers for this course prepared a Power Point
presentation to help identify a "good vs. bad" presentation.
Please take a moment to view this presentation before you start
working on your paper - and also before you submit your final version.
- When
writing your paper, you are required to follow the APA formatting
rules. If you refer to the book or any other source, an
in-text
citation should be included along with a matching reference on the
References page at the end of the document.
- The reflection
paper is not due until Week 13. However, if you wait until
Week
13 to write your paper you may find that it is difficult to remember
all that has occurred throughout the course. You will find it
much easier to write your final paper if you have been jotting down
notes or writing a paragraph of two as you complete each week.
Here's a great link for help with correctly formatting APA references
and citations.
