Personal Learning Journal for Health and Wellness Course

This assignment is to help you connect with the information in your text and make meaning of what you have read. After reading each Chapter, you will find there is material such as “assess yourself” and “chapter questions” which will guide your learning. These activities will assist you in relating to your own life. You are required to complete a journal entry every week based on those activities. How you do this is up to you, it may be online or on paper. You must complete them in order to get a full understanding of the material in this course. You will not submit these journals to me, instead you will use them to write a summary paper.

For this assignment, you will submit a personal learning journal based on all of your entries and will be a summary of what you learned throughout the course. Your final reflection paper must connect to your prior weekly written reflections and forum contributions, citing yourself and your peers, using APA format. Your connections should also include references to the assigned readings and any other academic sources you encounter as part of the course.
