These weekly reflection assignments are for the purposes of reflecting on the readings (primary sources such as Plato, Ovid, Marie de France, Thomas Mann, or both films; secondary sources such as Nissinen, Foucault, and all of the "handouts" throughout the course). There is no specific content I am looking for other than careful reading and reflection--except for this one requirement: you MUST quote from one of the texts for each of the reflections at least once, giving the context of the quote and the importance of the quote for your reflection.
