Module 10 – Reflection and Practices

This module is for you to journal about your experiences throughout this class. There is not time to discuss all the learnings in class. I will read these entries but generally will not respond to them. It will help me understand your process, grasp of the materials, and if you are keeping up with the course.

There are also sections that are taken from the Pro-EFW Certification Portal. Making a start on completing some of this information will be helpful later! If you are not intending to certify then these sections are not required.

This section is for certification candidates.
