Course Reflection (Scroll Down to Read All Parts)
Reflective writing is similar to writing a journal. Its the process of looking back over your experience and noting what was important, inspiring, helpful, or applicable to you as a learner, a future employee or in other personal ways.
Directions: Select THREE concepts that you learned in this course that you found interesting, memorable, and applicable to the real world (or to your personal life in some way). Be specific rather than saying “mental illness” (too general)… select one type of mental illness such as bipolar (for one of the three concepts). For the next concept, select something different not from chapter 12 on mental illness. You may want to write your work on your computer (save) and then copy/paste your work into the “Create Thread” for the class. You must post first before you’ll see the work of others.
