Write a Reflection Paper
Write a minimum of 250-500 word reflection on how your view of higher education has deepened and changed after reading Sanders’ work. Include at least two quotes from the textbook with proper in-text citations (Last Name and Page Number). For example, “Your quote” (Sanders 12). You can use the following questions to help you write your essay (but you do not need to include the questions themselves in your essay). You must answer a minimum of 5 of these questions in your reflection.
Write a new paragraph or paragraphs when addressing each question. You should also have opening and conclusion paragraphs. This means a seven paragraph minimum for your paper.
