Part One:
Write a reflection paper on Modules 1 to 3 including the material in the assigned readings and lectures. The first three modules focus on understanding economic geography as a discipline and, through that perspective, understanding the economy. Reflect on how the material challenged or changed your thinking and/or behavior regarding what is the economy? Your paper should critically engage with the material and demonstrate that you have thought deeply about the issue and describe how and why it has changed your opinions (or not). You need not address the entirety of the material; indeed you would be advised to focus on one issue or topic that particularly interested or provoked you. Note: the intention is to describe how the material impacted you, not to summarize the material. I am interested in how the material impacted you, not in how well you can re-phrase the material. In that spirit, your reflection should be written from the first person perspective; what does the material mean to you.
