For this module select one or more Self-evaluation/reflection methods: personal journals, answering reflection questions, and participating in web discussion. Use the journal as a time to think about what you've seen, felt, and experienced, and which aspects of your experience continues to excite, trouble, impress, or unnerve you. When answering reflection questions or participating in web discussion don't simply answer the questions listed, but use the questions to guide your thought process. In other words, use the questions to keep your writing focused.
