week 4 journal

Overview

The journals in this course will help you reflect on your experiential learning opportunity during the module. While your work plan lists what you did, your journal is a place to reflect on your actions and what you learned from your experience. You will also post screenshots to show samples of your work. Journals are an opportunity to discuss any experiences, including where you think you might need to adjust your original work plan and why, as well as any problems you ran into and how you resolved them or plan to resolve them in future modules. Finally, the journals will assist you with the project, which is a final experiential report and presentation.
