Journal Questions

The Learning Journal is a tool for self-reflection on the learning process. In addition to completing directed tasks, you should use the Learning Journal to document your activities, record problems you may have encountered and to draft answers for Discussion Forums and Assignments. The Learning Journal should be updated regularly (on a weekly basis), as the learning journals will be assessed by your instructor as part of your Final Grade.

1. Describe what you did. You need to describe what you did and how you did it

2. Describe your reactions to what you did

3. Describe any feedback you received or any specific interactions you had. Discuss how they were helpful

4. Describe your feelings and attitudes

5. Describe what you learned

6. What surprised me or caused me to wonder?

7. What happened that felt particularly challenging? Why was it challenging to me?

8. What skills and knowledge do I recognize that I am gaining?

9. What am I realizing about myself as a learner?
