Type Written Using 12 Hu Reflection On Evaluating
Directions: During the course of the semester, you are required to complete 4 separate Reflection Journals which will be due as indicated by your course outline.
Each journal entry should be used to reflect your thoughts, feelings, and ideas about the material you are reading in the text book and that we are or will be discussing in class. Specifically, each of your 4 Reflection Journals should refer to the Chapter topics previously indicated on the syllabus. Use your journal to identify specific topics/concepts and write on them about what you have experienced, think, believe or have learned in class regarding that subject matter. You may tell how the topic/ concept has/is impacting your life, that of your family members, children, significant others, etc. Or you may find that you cannot relate the concept to your real life experiences to date and can therefore write about why you think that is occurring and or what you are understanding about the topic/concept. As your work represents you, please be sure to use the Spell and Grammar checks on your computer as you may lose points for a pattern of misspellings, poor grammar and problematic sentence structures. To receive full points for each journal assigned, it is imperative that you carefully follow the directions included in this and any in class instructions about successfully completing the journal assignments
