Subsequent to each thematic lecture, we were required to submit a synopsis in the form of a reaction paper. Its aim is to read a selected reading in relation to the theme that has been discussed in class for the week and submit a reaction paper to the text. It required us to analyze a text, then develop commentary related to it. It requires thoughtful reading, research and writing. It should identify the key points highlighted in the text and then focus on our personal perspective on issues raised through the text. In addition to our personal perspective, we should identify experiences or insights that have shaped our perspective.
