Reflection and Peer Responses

Near the end of every week of this course you will reflect on what you have learned in an essay posted on Confluence.

For your Reflections essay this week, review your Starting Assumptions post and what you learned from the readings about Stonehenge and the Flat Earth. Explain how what you learned will affect the way you will approach the rest of the course.

Note: I read every single Reflections essay every single week, even if I do not post a reply to each one every time. I even come back later to read any posts that were added late at night or after the deadline, so I thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me.
