CJA 344 Week 1 Summary

Each online week, you will conclude the week’s activities by summarizing what you have learned during the week.  You do not need to simply repeat everything that has been discussed.  What your instructor is most interested in is what you learned about yourself and your role during the course of the week.  The Weekly Summary is a graded activity.  Instead of the instructor posing specific questions to determine your progress and substantive knowledge gained, you get to tell the instructor and the class what you have learned.  Focus your summary by answering the following questions, or additional questions that your instructor may pose in the classroom thread:

• What did you find that was really useful, or that challenged your thinking?
• What are you still mulling over?
• Was there anything that you’ve already taken and applied in your workplace?
• Is there anything you would like to have clarified?
• What are your goals for the next week?

Please address the content of the course and your reaction to it in your weekly summary.  Do not simply discuss your schedule, whether the server was up or down, and other “process related” items.   A recommended length of your weekly summary should be between 150 and 300 words.
