Reflection for class

On the final reflection

            The final reflection should be posted by midnight, June 4th, 2023.  It should not exceed one page in length.  It should address the question of how the two primary events considered in this course relate to one another.  While the reflection will not receive a letter grade, the quality of this reflection will be used in making plus/minus and borderline grade decisions should the need arise.
