Student Self-Analysis

Lou, You make such great points. Don't you think it can be the first link in connecting courses together? It is frustrating when students, f2f or online, don't carry forward information and/or skills from another course to the one they are in. I think self analysis can help with that. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
