Reflective Paper Guidelines

 

First, you must submit to the D2L dropbox a paragraph which briefly describes your potential paper topic on February 22, 2016 by 11:59pm. In the paragraph describe the group of people you will be addressing in your paper and why. The purpose of the paragraph is to ensure that your topic is appropriate for the paper. Your topic must be approved before you write your paper. Paragraph will receive a grade of P/F.

 

Your final paper will be due on May 2, 2016 by 11:59 pm. Your paper should be two-three pages in length. Points will be taken off if it is not. This means that your paper must be at least two full pages long, but not more than three. You should have a separate title page and at least two full pages of text. It should be typed, double line spacing, 12-point font, 1 inch margins, each area should be addressed fully, and use APA for citations and references. To receive an A on the paper, you must demonstrate that you have taken the time to address fully each area of the paper and that you have reflected thoughtfully about each aspect. Papers should be free of typographical, spelling, and grammatical errors.

 

Both your paragraph and final paper are to be submitted to the appropriate D2L Drop box as a Microsoft word file. No papers will be accepted in PDF format. Each must be submitted before 11:59 pm on the due date. Points will be taken off for late paragraphs and papers. Late paragraphs points will be taken off from final paper grade. Students will loose 2 points for everyday the paper is late up to 9 days after the due date. Papers submitted on or after 10^th day from the due date will not be graded and will earn a zero for the paper.

 

Here are the areas you should address in your paper and the points available for each aspect:

Paragraph submitted on time? 2 points

1) Describe the group of people about whom you are writing and the potential bias you think you might have towards them. Specifically describe some of the biases that you hold. What are your beliefs about this particular group of people? 2 points

 

2) Then you must describe why you think you hold this opinion. What experiences, or lack thereof, have you had that may have led to this bias? What has influenced your beliefs, such as your family, your peers, your church, your community, or the media? Is it a long-held belief or fairly recent? 2 points

 

3) Next, describe how this bias could have a negative effect on a health care encounter. What assumptions might you bring to the encounter? How could those assumptions influence the type of care that you might provide? 3 points

 

4) Finally, you must use the Campinha-Bacote model to come up with a personal plan for how to address this issue. You will receive an article describing the model and we will review it and discuss it in class. You must include and address all aspects of the model. You should specifically define each aspect of the model and describe specific strategies that you will use for each aspect of the model to increase your ability to care for the group of people against whom you recognize holding a bias. 10 points
