First, review all of the articles and videos in Module 1 and read Chapter 1 in your text.
For Journal Assignment # 1 I want you to discuss three or more things you learned in this module on how to make better decisions. Refer to the source (article, video, text) by name as you write so I will see all three sources you are referring to. No citations are needed; just mention the sources in your writing.
Focus on applying these ideas to your own thinking. Consider a few areas in which YOU wish you could make better decisions (we all have several). Write the journal entry as if you are just talking to me. A conversational tone is fine. Mention at least three of the articles or videos in this module as the source of the ideas you are discussing (and to prove you watched/read the material). Again, focus on how this material can be applied to your personal life.
Your answers should be combined for one essay of at least 300 words.
NOTE: The course Journal will contain 10 entries (one per module). Students will keep the Journal and submit it in Module 10 at the end of the course. The submission link will be in Module 10.
Plagiarism will result in a zero on assignments in this course. Learn how to avoid plagiarism (this article opens in a new window).
