Course Reflection: 92% final score
This course was very challenging not because of the content but because of my mentor's expectations went above and beyond the syllabus. It was very difficult to provide him with the additional expectations because most assignment expectations asked for something completely different. However, having said all that it's important to note that the mentor in this course was extremely helpful in raising my scientific awareness and helped me to narrow my theoretical lens to a more scholarly approach rather than one of practitioner.

As you are preparing to participate in this system, you must always look for the theory, look for the research about the theory and look for the gaps in the research. ====
