OL 442 Journal Rubric

Journals are private and between you and the instructor only. Approach these activities as (a) an opportunity to reflect upon and apply what you learn each
week based on the assigned readings, discussions, and activities, and (b) an opportunity to share your knowledge and expertise based on your educational and
professional experiences in the past. As a successful professional, you will need good reflective and writing skills. Journal activities offer you the opportunity to
further develop these skills.
