Presentation/Assigment

For select modules that do not include a 'Building bridges to practice: Reflective log' assignment, you will be asked to write responses to questions that pertain to course topics and readings. You will write your responses to these questions by adding your responses to each set of questions in a given module and submitting that response in the appropriate location (i.e. in module 4 you will add your responses in module 4). Some questions might also refer to a topic and readings from a previous module. You will be asked to come prepared to discuss your responses with your classmates and instructor. Your responses should be clear, detailed, and address all aspects of a given question (see rubric).
