| Journal Rubric
Each week from Units 1-10, you will participate in a reflective journal exercise. Reflective writing influences academic learning and self-development. Your journal assignments are an opportunity to write about what you have learned each week. It is important to show you can link the new knowledge acquisition each week to your own real life experiences and understanding.
Your journal entries will not be read by classmates, only by your professor, so think of them as being informal pieces of writing with the intent for you to express yourself.. |
