What potential solutions that may have resolved the issue, from your perspective, based upon the assessment? Remember to review the Reflection Paper rubric and instructions.
Additionally, please include LINKS or DOIs to any articles or books referenced outside of the assigned readings as part of your APA citation (

Reflection Paper Rubric (25 points)
Reflection papers consist of brief responses to a prompt related to the information shared in each week’s module. Using both the assigned materials and external references, the student should thoughtfully and thoroughly respond to the prompt. Reflection paper assignments will be graded as follows:
Category | 5 points |

Grammar, Usage, and Spelling | Reflection paper contained less than 2 grammar, usage, or spelling errors. |
References and Utilization of Outside Resources | The author used references from peer-reviewed behavioral sources in APA format and cited one or more original behavioral references, outside of the assigned readings. Hyperlinks to the cited external references are provided. |
Addressing the Prompt | The author’s reflection paper clearly responds to the assignment prompt, develops ideas cogently, organizes them logically, and supports them through empirical writing. |
Application | The author’s post clearly demonstrates application and relationship to the week’s assigned reading/topic. |
Late reflection papers will adhere to the general submission policy found on the Virtual Course Schedule.
WARNING: Using Generative AI (ChatGPT or similar) is not permitted on these papers. If use of AI is suspected, the professor will meet with you to discuss your response. If you cannot discuss your response sufficiently, you will receive 0 points for your submission. If this occurs more than once, you will be reported to the dean for academic misconduct and may receive an F in the class and removal from the program.
