Overview

Reflection is an important part of the learning process so you can form new habits and behaviors in order to improve your performance over time. For this assignment, you will be engaging in some metacognition—thinking about how you think—in order to identify what went well in your approach to the first Unit Assessment and what changes you can make when you complete the second Unit Assessment this week.
