QUESTION 3

Weekly summary ASSIGNMENT.

At the end of each course week you are to post a weekly summary. Each summary carries a grade. The weekly summary serves several purposes:

·    – it allows the instructor  to understand better what went well during the week, where were problems areas, and what can the instructor can do to enhance your learning experience.

·    – it allows the student to reflect on the learning content of the past week, by describing what they learned, what were their challenges, and what they did to overcome them.

·    – it allows the class to share the learning experience between students and provide support where and when it is needed. Because one can often identify with other students challenges, one might feel less ‘unique.’ Take the opportunity to highlight what you learned, missed, or wished you had covered.

Limit your summary to no more than 200 words if possible.
