Course Journals allow you a chance for reflection, giving multiple entries to a piece of work all in one place. This may be a series of reflections on your language learning or lab work time. Your tutor will hopefully give you instructions as what should be included in a particular journal and what is expected for each entry. All posts and comments are between you and your tutor.

Below the instruction area you can add your entry.
