Looking back at Chapter 7...

Look over the lessons in Chapter 7. Why do you think the editors of this textbook put all of this material together in one chapter? What connects all of the lessons? Are there any lessons in Chapter 7 that do not fit in the chapter? Where should they go instead? Also, do you think other lessons could be added to this chapter? If so, which ones, and why? If not, why not?

(Yes, there are many questions to answer here. You will be graded on your ability to produce well-reasoned answers.)

Time for Reflection

1) We have covered a lot of ground so far in this class. Out of all of the concepts we've covered, what has been the most difficult for you to grasp? What has been the easiest? Why?

2) What strategies have helped you keep up with the material in this fast-moving course? Is there anything you do inside or outside of class that helps you?

3) This course will continue to move at a quick pace. What are some good strategies that are already being used in class to help you understand the material? What improvements could be made in class to better help you understand the material?
