Journals are private and between you and the instructor

Journals are private and between you and the instructor only. Approach these activities as (a) an opportunity to reflect upon and apply what you learn based on the assigned readings, discussions, and activities, and (b) an opportunity to share your knowledge and expertise based on your educational and professional experiences in the past. As a successful professional, you will need good reflective and writing skills. Journal activities offer you the opportunity to further develop these skills.
Guidelines for Submission: Submit assignment(s) as a Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.
