Overview
Reflection 11 IN CLASS Topic Name is - “Course as whole”
course is (Industrial and Organization Psychology)
There is no need of intext citation as it is the reading done in class
but most important.(Suggestion given by mam very very very improtant. only one of the topics you cover could be interesting, but they require more support. Reducing the number of claims you make while expanding them would help make your reflection more cohesive. In particular, I would recommend focusing on one argument per paragraph. Doing so would give you more opportunity to expand on your thoughts in a cohesive manner.)
(USE I AND Your task is not to summarize the week’s readings, but rather to critically and creatively engage with, and make sense of, the ideas and topics raised for the week.)
You are expected to submit 6 reflection papers out of 9 possible topics over the course of the semester. The length is 530 words. Reflection papers are due on Sundays by 11:59pm, beginning in Week 2 (see the class schedule) and are written on the previous week’s topic. For example, the paper due on NOV 9th should be written on ““Course as whole” ”.
Guidelines for reflection papers • The main aim of the reflection papers is to provide you with a written means of engaging with the readings and class discussions.
Reflection papers are written in response to readings and class discussions from the previous week and are due the Sunday after the preceding Tues/Thurs classes.
Do not summarize out •Your task is not to summarize the week’s readings, but rather to critically and creatively engage with, and make sense of, the ideas and topics raised for the week.
Here are some ideas that can help you focus your paper:
Engage with (respond to relate to, discuss, debate, compare, refute etc.) the authors’ ideas or arguments.
Response to actual arguments
USE - ‘I’
A conversational tone is generally preferred written in the first-person (using I).
Informal way of writing
Provide reflection deeply
Try to make sense and how do you think
(If you write claims provide reasoning behind them)
Thesis line IS VERY IMPORTANT IMPORTANT
Reflect on your learning: How has this course Industrial and Organization Psychology influenced your approach to your work and studies?
Thesis line IS VERY IMPORTANT IMPORTANT
It has to be followed in every paper, and in fact, it may be better to choose all of these as a focus for your paper for the week. • The reflection papers are meant to be part of your ongoing reflection on new and sometimes complex ideas, and you can expect that your ideas about things will change as the course progresses. This means that your papers can be exploratory. • The GRADING will look for evidence that you have read and thought about the course material when grading your papers, so read the papers deeply and perhaps even more than once, take notes, highlight passages that are interesting or intriguing, write out questions or connections in the margins, and use these to help you identify potential topics to explore in your reflection papers. Format for submissions:
APA7 STYLE OW PURDE.)WHOLE DOCX SHOULD BE 1.5 SPACED). • APA 7 Referencing is only necessary if you want to cite materials other than those on your reading list.
Font –Arial- 12 size.Use Proper Connectors . proper intro thesis line and conclusiojn should start like this - In conculsion.
APA7 REFERNCE STYLE WHOLE DOCX SHOULD BE DOUBLE SPACED. • Paper adheres to the length guidelines - Length is 530 words exactly (1.5 spaced pages). • Quality is more important than quantity
A personal reflection will require you to think deeply about your own experiences. You will need to think about the ways in which your experiences have shaped you or your understanding of a particular issue. A personal reflection is about your perceptions rather than about extensive research that you have conducted.
A conversational tone is generally prefered written in the first-person (using I).
Three-stage model of reflective writing (have to used while writing )
Stage 1: What?
Stage 1 starts the reflection process through descriptive questions (see below) that you can answer in your reflective journals. You should normally complete this stage as you plan and prepare for an experience (e.g., teaching practicum, community service placement, other learning opportunity). This is the “before” stage.
What do I expect to get out of this experience (goals, outcomes, purpose, ideas)?
What were my initial observations (e.g., of the placement location, interactions between people, my reactions)?
What are the goals of agency, group, organization?
What do I already know about the specific context?
What did I think before?
What roles am I taking on?
What happened to me today
Stage 2: So what?
Stage 2 requires you to share meaningful experiences and provide an observation or analysis of these experiences. In this stage, you write about the day’s actions and what significance or consequences are attached to these actions. You are challenged to interpret the meaning of your experiences. You can answer the following questions in your reflective writing piece. This is the “during” stage.
What did this experience mean to me?
What did I do that was effective? Why was it effective?
What am I learning about others and myself?
What did I do that seems to be ineffective? How could I have done it differently?
What values, opinions, and/or decisions have been made through this experience?
Stage 3: Now What?
In stage 3, you will apply the lessons you have learned during one (or more) placements (or situations) to other situations and contexts. You will explore new understandings about yourself and community issues. Questions to guide you are listed below. This is the “after” stage.
How will that change my action perspective going forward?
Is it important for me to stay involved in the community?
What will the final results of my efforts be?
How will that change my action perspective going forward?
How can I use what I learned in my future placements or career?
What changes would I make in this experience if it were repeated?
How does this experience exemplify or contradict module materials?
It should contain no spelling errors and typos
For example, start line should; start a bit like this, line can be like this, Starting line- this week our professor thought,
READINGS which have to be used
The resources and link which has to be used is only 1(one) pdf which I have provided in the form of pdf to be analyzed by word to word and used properly.
NO OTHER SOURCE HAS TO BE USED ONLY these readings has to be used.
No outsource has to be used.
Reading are as follows:
READING NO-1 course as wholeREADING NO-1 The Evolution of Performance Management- Searching for Value.
(Very very important)
READING 2 Getting rid of performance ratings: Genius or folly? A debate. Industrial and Organizational Psychology: Perspectives on Science and Practice, 9(2), 219–252. (veryvery very important)
DOCX –3 IS THE SAMPLE OF HOW TO WRITE THE REFLECTION WHICH IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT
Docx-4 example provided by mam how to write of other topic (it is just an example but It has mistakes)
DOCX 5 IS GRADING RUBRIC PHOTO(PDF DOCX).
And guidelines and you have to answer to this I am proving the grading rubrics everything write in own words do not use no AI AND CHATGPT AS MAM HAS THE SOFTAWARE TO DETECT.EACH AND EVERY LINE and each and every word.
I Have also attached the grading rubric photo which is in form of image grading rubric is very much important you have to follow each and every instruction very carefully.
only these sources which I have provided you have to use.
I have also attached the grading rubric photo each and every instruction has to be followed very carefully.
Suggestion given by mam intext citation should match with reference"(Make sure that you have the right authors in your citation and do not include any outsource out of course material).First you have to use this reading 1 reading and this Reading-1 is very very very important and has to be used studied deeply and understand deeply and then write original reflection paper5.
Suggestion given by mam very very very improtant. Any one of the topics you cover could be interesting, but they require more support. Reducing the number of claims you make while expanding them would help make your reflection more cohesive. In particular, I would recommend focusing on one argument per paragraph. Doing so would give you more opportunity to expand on your thoughts in a cohesive manner.
As a next step, I would like to see you expand on your own thoughts further.
As-is, your paper is largely descriptive. You SHOULD ALSO provide what your classmate mentioned and your initial reactions to them. Building on this, you could pick a specific argument or line of reasoning that particularly stood out to you.

GRADING RUBRIC
Your reflection will be evaluated on the following dimensions: 1. Structure and Flow (50%) – The reflection is well organized, coherent, and easy to follow. Ideas are logically connected and supported with relevant examples or insights. 2. Depth of Reflection (50%) – The paper demonstrates thoughtful engagement with course content, deep critical self-assessment, and evidence of reflection on personal an professional learning experience.
INSTRUCTOR'S SUGGESTION:
"Reducing the number of claims you make while expanding them would help make your reflection more cohesive."
"Focus on one argument per paragraph."
CURRENT ISSUES IN YOUR REFLECTION:
Too many claims in one paragraph:
Lack of expansion:
Although you raise critical points, you don’t provide enough evidence or explanation for each one.. Expanding on these terms with clear examples would strengthen your argument. an i will recommend HOW TOFIX IT- One argument per paragraph: Paragraph 1: Paragraph 2: Expand each argument: proper intro thesis statement, conclusion
As-is, your paper is largely descriptive. You SHOULD ALSO provide what your classmate mentioned and your initial reactions to them. Building on this, you could pick a specific argument or line of reasoning that particularly stood out to you.
AND START LIKE THIS After having peer group discussions and reflecting upon the ideas and concepts shared and taught by the professor this week, I found one of my peer's experiences The course, Advance topics in Industrial and orgnaizational psychology, is one of the more interesting and insightful courses I have done in my university life. Our professor have been helpful with giving feedback on how to improve our weekly discussion from time to time.
1. Too Many Claims in One Paragraph
- Your reflection often jumps from one argument to another in single paragraph, all in rapid succession.
- This makes it hard for ME AS PROFESSOR to absorb each point and see a clear, well-developed argument per paragraph.
2. LACKS EXPANSION OF KEY IDEAS
- You're making great points, but some are underexplained.
3. NEEDS TIGHTER COHESION
- Paragraphs should revolve around a single, clear argument.
- Right now, some paragraphs shift topics midway.
AND MAM ONE MORE FFEDBACK GIVEN BY MAM
ONE PARAGRAPH = ONE ARGUMENT
Each paragraph should: 3 paragraph max
Intro paragraph
then 3 paragraph body
and
then conclusion
- Start with a topic sentence (clear focus).
- Give one example (e.g., peer’s brother with fear).
- Expand on how it helped you understand conditioning more deeply.(INTERLINK WITH MY LIFE
- Reflect on how this changed your thinking.
- Second Paragraph = One Argument
- Each paragraph should:
- Start with a topic sentence (clear focus).
- Give one example (e.g., peer’s brother with fear).
- Expand on how it helped you understand conditioning more deeply.(INTERLINK WITH MY LIFE)
- Reflect on how this changed your thinking.
- HOW TOFIX IT- One argument per paragraph: Paragraph 1: Paragraph 2: Expand each argument: proper intro thesis statement, conclusion As-is, your paper is largely descriptive. You SHOULD ALSO provide what your classmate mentioned and your initial reactions to them. Building on this, you could pick a specific argument or line of reasoning that particularly stood out to you. AND START LIKE THIS After having peer group discussions and reflecting upon the ideas and concepts shared and taught by the professor this week, I found one of my peer's experiencesEXAMPLE THIS IS AN EXMAPLE OF OTHER TOPIC AND OTHER PROMPT In class Reflection # 10 The course, Historical and Critical Perspective on Psychology, is one of the more interesting and insightful courses I have done in my university life. Our TAs have been helpful with giving feedback on how to improve our papers from time to time. Particularly, the lecturer emphasized thinking critically and digging deeper about what we are taught and what we have learned from the readings. Also, how we write and express our ideas by interlinking our life experiences in our discussions and reflections. Going through the readings myself and engaging in peer discussions has been instrumental in having new perspectives about psychology in terms of its application in our life experiences. I found the peer discussions as a great resource for learning, especially on areas I did not fully understand from the weekly readings. Now that the semester is coming to an end, I can think about this class, the course learning goals, and reflect on what I have gained in this course as I continue my journey into the future.
Additionally, this course has taught me to be a critical thinker, able to discern things objectively and subjectively in some cases. For example, Teo’s article Philosophical concerns in critical psychology critiques mainstream psychology by arguing it mainly focuses on human minds and behaviors and ignores other sub-disciplines such as ontology and epistemology. This in the end, limits the mainstream psychology in solving some basic problems in life. By omitting critical disciplines and transforming psychology from a philosophical discipline it was, the mainstream psychology has remained largely objective and thus lost subjectivity that help it solve basic problems in life. The article taught me the importance of being a critical thinker, able to critique mainstream knowledge, and be a progressive scholar by contributing to new knowledge. I have learned that the study of psychology should be a comprehensive academic adventure, and thus the need to restructure the mainstream psychology by incorporating the oncological and epistemological fields.
Based on my reflection, I believe in my participation in this class, I have learned a lot and achieved the course learning goals. As I complete this class, it is with no doubt that my knowledge and skills in psychology have been enhanced through our peer discussions and the many helpful feedback and guidance from our lecturer. Taking this course has evoked my passion in psychology as I look forward to a career in psychology in the future. I am grateful to the meaningful peer engagements we have had in this class that have not only enhanced my understanding and knowledge in psychology but also helped me appreciate the role of psychology in our everyday life.
