About Me: Who are you and what are you studying (major)? Why are you taking this class? What prior knowledge and experience do you bring to this course regarding AT and disability? What do you hope to learn from the course? How might this course align with your future professional goals?
Reflection on Class Engagement and Learning: Detailed explanation included in previous section. You will include short reflections about learning tasks and discussions completed in class.

The deeper reflections will show the depth and breadth of your learning across the semester.
