This week, through our work, we have examined the ways we use research to help solve problems, how we choose topics to write about, and how we use the work of others to help support our ideas. Additionally, we have begun to explore the following course outcomes: • Apply knowledge of the liberal arts and/or sciences appropriate to the discipline • Survey professional journals., magazines, books and other texts for topic source validity • Begin to recognize the key elements of a research paper In this reflection journal, in at least 150 words, reflect back on what you have learned so far through the course readings, assignment, and our discussion. Consider the following questions to guide your reflection: • What, if anything, did you find surprising, particularly challenging, interesting, or useful? • From what you know about this course so far, what connections can you make to previous learning experiences, and how do you think this course will help you as you move forward in your college and professional life? • How do the course outcomes for this week apply to your experience so far? • What questions do you still need answered?
