Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Reflective logs

/in /by

TWO (2) journal entries must be submitted  (with 1 title page for both). 

• Each entry will critically assess the value that you have taken from any readings/class activities and relate the course material to real life events/issues (either your own, or those in the news). An informal (but respectful) writing tone is perfectly acceptable. 

Note! Concise, thoughtful reflections are required. Other than in section 1 of this deliverable (“Course Relevance”, described below), I am not interested in reading mini literature reviews that have little reflective element to them. You are expected to show independent, critical thinking.
