Reflection document, period 3 2018/2019

Before you write your reflection you should do the preparations.

The written reflection

Write a reflection document where you address the following points based on your preparations and your experience and expectations. The document should be 500-800 words.

• What did you base your choice of specialization on?
• Which courses have you taken/do you plan to take in your track? Refer to this when answering the following questions.
• How do you interpret "specialized methodological knowledge" in your area of specialization?
• Is scientific methodology relevant if you are not planning for a career as a researcher?
• How narrow do you think your specialization needs to be in order to give you sufficient depth?
• The degree project is regarded as part of your specialization. Should this fact influence what project you choose? (Did it?)

The document should be written as, or be converted to, a Google document. Set the permissions, so that everyone with the link will be allowed to comment the document. The following video shows how to do this:

If you do not want to use Google Docs for your text, there is an alternative described in the course memo.

Hand in the reflection

The link to your written reflection must be added to your group's Canvas page for this seminar before 19:00 on February 7. The groups are not yet created in Canvas, so you have to wait until February 1 to post your link. First, check that you are logged in to Canvas (in the blue Canvas menu to the left). You can find your group page by clicking Groups/Grupper in the blue Canvas menu to the left, choose your group (named prosamm group X), click on Pages/Sidor and the page named "period 3 2018/2019: Getting specialized knowledge". Then edit this page, adding a line consisting of your name and course offering (prosamm18 or prosamm17) at the end of the document, and make this line link to your Google document by using the chain icon and entering the URL of the Google document. Then save the page. Be careful not to change or remove anything on the page that anyone else has written.

(If you cannot find your group in Canvas, please email Viggo Kann <viggo@kth.se> to get a group.)

You will also need to read and comment on the other group members' reflections.

Have you missed anything in this course?

If you look at your results in Grades/Omdömen in Canvas you should have "1" for each of the three tasks for each seminar: reflection document, comments and seminar, in order to pass the course. If you missed anything you will need to read the instructions on how to fix this. If a result has not been reported correctly, you should contact your mentor for that seminar.
