This is your opportunity to reflect on your learning in the course. These are the topics you will address:

• What were the most compelling topics learned in this course?
• How did participating in discussions help your understanding of the subject matter? Is anything still unclear that could be clarified?
• What approaches could have yielded additional valuable information?

Your post should be at least 250 words in length. You do not need to conduct any new research; your post should either reflect that fact that you are familiar with course resources, or you can cite and reference resources as needed. Make sure you spell check and proof read. Provide two reply posts, each at least 100 words in length.
For additional assistance, attend the live chat or listen to the archived version; also, the Phase 5 document in the Instructor Files has helpful links and resources.
