Reflective Journaling Guidelines and Rubric

Purpose:
Reflective journaling is an evidence-based practice that assists students with strengthening personal knowledge of self as well as assimilating course concepts into their existing base of knowledge, skills, and attitudes.

Process:
Students will be provided with weekly reflective journaling prompts that address course topics, readings, and classroom exercises. Reflective journals will be submitted online to the learning management system (Canvas) via a text entry box provided on the journal submission link.

Respond to the specific questions assigned each week as the primary focus of your reflection.
You may also reflect on additional topics, thoughts, or experiences as desired.

NOTE: This assignment is set up to automatically award full points to students upon submission of their reflective journals to the online system; however, the instructor will review submissions and may deduct or adjust points if submissions do not meet the expected criteria as outlined in the rubric shown below and in the course syllabus.
