ASH101 Developing Skills & Strategies for Success

Week 3 Discussion

DQ1 Reflective Thinking

Reflective thinking is an important learning strategy. It forces you to think about what you did well and where you fell short of meeting expectations. When you do that, you can learn and grow from experiences. In this forum, you will reflect on what you have learned from your efforts on the Week 2 paper. As you respond to your peers, you will review their work in Folio and exchange useful advice. This forum is an opportunity for peer-to-peer support; therefore, your instructor will not be participating in the forum but will be reading your responses and providing feedback within the gradebook.
