Lecture Reflection Exercise: Why It Matters<\/h2>\n\n
Reflecting on what you've learned in class helps solidify your understanding, reinforces key concepts, and makes connections with your existing knowledge. By taking a moment to think about the lecture, you can better retain important information, clarify any confusing points, and apply what you\u2019ve learned to other courses or real-life situations. This reflection exercise is designed to help you actively engage with the material and deepen your learning.<\/p>\n\n
This guide will take you through several sections:<\/p>\n\n
\n\t
Key Takeaways and Main Points<\/li>\n\t
Activating Prior Knowledge<\/li>\n\t
Making Connections and Applications<\/li>\n\t
Surprises and New Insights<\/li>\n\t
Questions and Clarifications<\/li>\n\t
Personal Reactions and Opinions<\/li>\n\t
Future Learning Goals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Instructions<\/h3>\n\n
Please take a few minutes after each lecture to complete this reflection exercise. Respond to the questions with a few sentences or phrases. There are no right or wrong answers; the goal is to think critically about the material and express your own thoughts. Your reflections will be used for participation marks, so be honest and thoughtful in your responses. Use of AI to generate responses is not permitted.<\/p>\n\n
Navigate between the questions by using the arrows or the left menu. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
When you have completed all the steps, you can save your answers as a MS Word document on your device. You can later edit this document, submit it to your professor if assigned, or print it. <\/p>\n"},"library":"H5P.Text 1.1","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Untitled Text"},"subContentId":"e5b316af-959d-4340-906b-d564fbe525ac"},{"params":{"decorative":false,"contentName":"Image","expandImage":"Expand Image","minimizeImage":"Minimize Image","alt":"Female student working on a laptop and writing notes.","title":"Photo by Josefa nDiaz on Unsplash","file":{"path":"images\/file-670fd34f0b7c8.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","copyright":{"license":"U"},"width":640,"height":427}},"library":"H5P.Image 1.1","metadata":{"contentType":"Image","license":"U","title":"Untitled Image"},"subContentId":"3ce65910-7813-473c-8d9f-d6d013579c77"}],"helpTextLabel":"More information","helpText":"
