The purpose of the Student Self-Reflective Essay is to reflect upon what one has learned or how one has performed as compared with one's expectations or goals. At the end of each course, we ask students to respond to five (5) statements. In your essay please respond in sequential order to the five (5) statements below. There is no requirement for length when responding to each statement. 1. Descriptions of how you feel you improved your knowledge, skills, abilities, and yourself in this session through this course. 2. Evaluation of the work you did during the session for the class and explanations of ways you could have performed better. 3. Topics you have identified that you did not understand or were not successful in trying to implement and suggestions you may have about how to improve the course material on those topics. 4. Ways you might measure the future effects of what you have learned in this course or your future progress/improvement. 5. State whether you achieved the course outcomes (Student Learning Outcomes).
