Format and Criteria
For your assigned topic, please read the articles/webpages and watch the videos linked below. These materials are intended to prepare you for your assigned outcome, which is a reflection discussion with one of our conduct officers. Be sure to engage with this material before your reflection meeting and in preparation for your discussion. It might be helpful to read the articles more than once to ensure retention, and you may also want to take notes. Be prepared to answer questions, including the following:
- What did you learn?
- How do the topic and the materials relate to your specific case?
- What might you have done differently or would you do differently in the future?
For this conduct outcome to be considered complete, you must attend and actively participate in the discussion, demonstrating your learning from the assigned materials. Though this reflection is intended to be an authentic conversation, students should note that they are being evaluated during this conversation as part of the conduct process.
If you have any questions, please contact the Resolution Center for Student Conduct and Conflict at resolutioncenter@gonzaga.edu or 509-313-4009.
