Here is the reflection and here is what it looks like. Answer each question. Always click “Save”. And the end of the question click on “Save and Submit” button to earn your points. The good thing about the reflections and quizzes is you can take them as many times as you want. After I take the quiz it may or may not give me the answers. But you may get more information to take it again. That is what the quizzes and reflections look like. So it is really important to read all the content you see on any page.
