Complete the Reflective Writing assignment described below. This assignment serves as the final exam for the course.
Reflective Writing
This course comprised many learning activities, each of which was designed to help you achieve one or more of the seven learning outcomes listed in the syllabus. The final exam asks you to think back over the course, the activities and exercises, the readings, the assignments, and any other aspect of the course. Choose at least three of the learning outcomes and write at least one paragraph for each in which you evaluate specifically how you were helped or not helped to achieve the learning outcome. (There's no wrong way to do this; you will lose points for this 'exam' only if you don't do it!) To help you review the course, the activities are grouped under each learning outcome in the attached document.
