Week 8 Reflection
Students will be required to post a reflection in response to the weekly prompt. These reflections are meant to be posted after other assignments for the week have been submitted. They are designed to allow students to reflect on the content from the week and share what they have learned with their classmates. Answer one of the following questions in a post by clicking on “Reply†in the Discussion Board. Reflections should be at least 300 words or can be a 2-3 minute video. You do not need to reply to your classmates’ posts on the Reflections, but feel free to do so if you desire.
