Conclusion: What do you expect to learn from the course?

Please use a conversational tone when writing, similar to how you would speak if we were having discussion over coffee. There is no page limit so please focus on covering the question both in depth and broadly, writing until you have nothing left to say. This detailed reflection will form the basis for some of the other writing assignments over the course of this semester and will tie in with your experiences in the classroom so please give it your very best!

This paper is NOT marked and the feedback from the professor focuses on asking questions that would allow you to think more deeply/broadly about their experiences with inquiry to this point.
