Personal Reflection Paper:
Write on any applied sociology topic or topics from the course (see weeks 4 through 12). The paper should be 3 pages long (double-spaced, 1-inch margins, proper paragraph format of a standard paper).  Use standard writing format—that is, do not skip lines between paragraphs, indent the first 5 spaces (a tab) of each paragraph, use topic sentences, and so on. This paper does not need to have any references, rather a thoughtful self-reflection about something new you have learned. We want an interesting synthesis of the material.  Finished personal reflection assignments will not be publicly available. It is worth 50 points. In this personal reflection, consider all that you have learned to date, and reflect upon how it has changed your thinking in an area of social psychology.  Use the number for each part you are answering.
