Can you please do an in-class presentation for most or all of our 75 minutes on: accessing resources at Blume, how to identify reliable sources, and the research writing process, step by step. Students will later in the course be asked to use these skills to incorporate two new, reliable sources on the "meaning of happiness" into their takeaway project (300-350 words). Prompt here: Reflection #3: Takeaway Project (300-350 words) This reflection invites students to reflect deeply on their personal journey during their first semester at St. Mary's University. Students will compare their initial expectations with their actual experiences and articulate how the semester has shaped them spiritually, intellectually, and relationally. They should address the following: personal growth, evolving perceptions of others, influence on their relationship with God through campus experiences, and expanded worldview (socially, ethically, and globally).
