DQ 1
This is a series of weekly self-reflections you will complete in this course that center upon:
• Your understanding of the course content.
• Your experience in managing your coursework.
• Your synthesis of the course content with your future education and career goals.
The idea is to become a reflective scholar and realize the changes that are taking place within you as you move through this course. This reflective practice is all about you, so keep the focus pointed inward, responding to the following questions:
• What do you appreciate about what is going on with you?
• What questions remain unanswered?
• If you could change one or two things what would they be?
The reflections may relate to any or all of the three topics at the top of this instruction.
At the end of each week, post your reflections to this ongoing discussion. Title the post: [Your Name] Reflective Practice. Do not create a new post each week; instead add each additional weekly post as response to your initial post.
Organize your reflection summary discussion post using a part of each question as a heading, such as:
• Introduction.
• Appreciation.
• Unanswered Questions.
• Change Options.
• Conclusion.

The purpose of this discussion is to gauge your understanding of Personalized Learning, and your comfort level with the CogBooks personalized learning platform. The CogBooks portion of the course contains all of the study materials you will need in order to successfully complete your discussion posts and assignments.

• Explain how you can contact your instructor if you have questions about the CogBooks content.
• Your work in CogBooks is designed to be completed at a pace that is optimal for you. At the same time, you have set due dates for discussions and assignments in the Blackboard section of the course. To help you navigate the requirements of these two platforms successfully, a suggested timeline for moving through the course can be accessed from the left-hand navigation bar in the Blackboard courseroom. Refer to this timeline and consider the due dates for this course and your personal time commitments for this quarter.
