Individual Assignment: Critical reflection Critical reflection for this piece is an individual work: it gives you the opportunity to display your personal capacity to critically reflect on a topic from an academic perspective. To do so, pick one article in the sample of articles provided on Blackboard. Then write a critical reflection about the chosen paper. To help you in your critical reflection, you can usefully refer to John Minger’s (2000) paper on Blackboard. You do not need to read all of it, just the first part, especially pp. 223-228, where the author defines what he means by critical thinking in a business school environment. Your personal reflection or your capacity to think critically is what will get you good marks on this assignment so it really is worthwhile investing time in reading and understanding Minger’s article.
