As a graduate student, you have been engaged in disciplinary practices aiming to deepen your knowledge and grow as a member of your professional community. In an essay, reflect on and evaluate the experiences you have had in your graduate program thus far. Potential topics to address include:

• what the most compelling and thought-provoking in course readings and/or discussions have been;
• how your previous views have been challenged and/or reshaped;
• how you may apply what you have learned this quarter; or
• in what way you may have felt inspired or disappointed by your experiences?

Even though this essay is not a traditional research paper, you are expected to demonstrate a depth of analysis and a breadth of vision based on your academic and field-related activities. You should include material from other relevant sources to provide evidence and exemplification for your arguments.
