Introduction

Frequent reflections on how you think allows you to better plan, monitor, and assess your understanding and performance in the course. Being critically aware of yourself as a thinker and learner sets you up to better transfer or adapt your learning to new contexts and tasks. Knowing your strengths and gaps also facilitate timely adjustments to your readiness for future tasks and performances. Sharing of these reflections in a discussion builds a community of learning and sharing.

Instructor note: This activity uses a discussion format so that reflections may be shared. Responses do not go toward the assignment grade. However, discussion is enabled and encouraged.
