So, in this assignment, you will be going back to the beginning of the course, when you first read the syllabus and the learning outcomes for the class, looking over all submitted assignments and acquired knowledge in the process of taking this class to then compose a written reflection based on your metacognitive process and an oral presentation sharing your points with the classmates.
