Since Leadership is not an option I choose Management.
Working on portfolio now …
This assignment should take the form of a coherent and reflective paper, a meditation on your life and learning, in order to demonstrate self-awareness and articulate your personal vocation. That is, you will craft a narrative around your call and your journey through the program, and future goals, you are encouraged to address the following questions:
Who am I? Where do I come from? Consider providing some biographical and background information: family, community, education, work, and leadership experience. What forces shaped you, especially where identity, values, and leadership are concerned? What led you to Creighton and BILS?
What do I know about myself today after the BILS Program? What am I good at? What do I stand for? Describe your strengths and the progress you made through the program touching on the assignments in your portfolio. This is not to be a review of those assignments, but a description of your growth through them. Include in this some experiences of the Jesuit Charisms, which ones impacted you most and what meaning do you have for them? Concluding this section with an examination of your experience in the program as your journey draws to a close. What advice do you have to make the BILS program better?
Where do I want to go? What do I want to achieve? What are your goals and dreams? Think family, community, service to others, and your call or vocation. This can and should cover both short-term and long-term visions and goals. Can you use anything that you’ve learned at Creighton to make immediate changes in your lifestyle and leadership? Are you starting to discern more about long-term goals and changes in your personal and professional life and how to implement them?
You should be as specific as possible in this reflection. The questions or prompts should compel you to provide examples from your own life as well as from course readings and even other sources (which you must cite according to APA format). You can draw on discussions and reflections you have already done for this class and incorporate some of these in this final paper.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
As noted, this is is a personal reflection/narrative in conjunction with your portfolio in BlueLine, so you can also frame it as an overview of your portfolio. The portfolio should be creative and individualized with some photos, artwork, you tube videos of you sharing your insights, music, etc. The paper as a complementary narrative can comment on the creation of that portfolio and how the creation expresses your person. Even though you should incorporate answers to the above questions in your paper, the text itself must meet the minimum word requirement and should be in the form of a unified whole and not question-and-answer format. Below are other things to keep in mind while writing the paper:
Make sure you understand this assignment and fulfill it according to stated requirements and description. Address most points and questions within the paper, making sure information is relevant and sufficient.
Make sure your information is specific. As noted, you are to draw from your own observations, thinking, and experiences. Give concrete, actual examples. Avoid abstractions and generalizations. You can also use information from our course readings, the reading you had in the past in the programs, as well as other texts that have been significant for you.
Organize your reflection or story so that it is unified and focused. Use clear transitions to guide readers between ideas. Make sure it flows and “sounds” good.
Write in a professional yet natural voice, one that readers want to hear and follow.
Be aware of your audience (in this case, our ILS 499 class) as well as some of the concepts that inform the general philosophy and approach of the program, including our commitment to the Jesuit Charisms and the Creighton mission, our beliefs, values, background, assumptions), and write according to the needs and interests of this group.
As mentioned, include some ideas for the improvement of the BILS Program in your thoughts.
Cite any borrowed information, using proper APA documentation for citations within text and on References page (References page doesn’t count toward required length).
Avoid distracting spelling and grammar errors to improve credibility.
Writing the First Draft of your Paper
You are free to make mistakes on the first draft. This is your chance to see what’s working and not working with your writing, to see if you’re on track. Writers rarely “get it right” on the first try, and most writers, especially professionals, get help with their writing. Since writers write for an audience, it is essential to get feedback from readers. You will not be graded on the actual content of the draft. As long as you make a credible and substantial effort to address the major aspects of your paper, you will receive full credit for this assignment. YOU WILL NOT BE THAT FAR ALONG IN CLASS WHEN YOU BEGIN THE DRAFT AND WILL STILL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO REVISE. You may want to add and/or eliminate information based on what happens during the last few weeks of class.
