Journal

An opportunity to chronicle your 235 adventure this semester, a journal is a handy tool for learning and mental exercise. Record your experiences, thoughts, etc. this last half of the semester in entries under their appropriate dates and collect your pages in the hanging folder identified by your student ID on the rack in front of my office (BRK 1106). Occasional prompts will be given for you to respond to in addition to anything else you write on your own.
