Purpose:
- To reflect on your experience with religion thus far in your life.
- To enable me to know where you are coming from as you begin your study here.
- To demonstrate your writing skills: this is the first written paper you produce for me as well as your first graded assignment. Make a good first impression!
Directions:
1. In an approximately 500 word essay: Discuss your personal experience (or lack thereof) with and perspective on religion to this point in your life and reflect on what you expect from this course. Some guiding questions:
- Would you consider yourself to be a “religious” person? Why or why not?
-
- What religion(s) are you personally most familiar with?
- How is your involvement with religion today different from how it was when you were growing up?
-
- How do you think this course might relate to your own life and/or program of study/present or future career?
- How might this course challenge you: intellectually, spiritually, academically or otherwise? How do you plan to address those challenges?
