Reflection Journal

This week, through our readings and discussion, we discussed how we shouldn’t confine the value of our work to grades or other forms of recognition we may or may not receive from others. Additionally, we have begun to explore the following course outcomes:

• express a well-informed, personal viewpoint and show an understanding of his or her own biases; and – Communication, Respect for Diversity & Critical Thinking
• articulate how learning extends beyond the classroom. – Communication, Lifelong Learning & Social, Ethical & Professional Responsibility

In your journal, reflect back on what you have learned so far through the course readings, assignments, and discussions (you are encouraged to reflect back on previous weeks as well). Answer each of the following questions to guide your reflection:
