This week you learned about field notes in Chapter 3 of the eText. Field notes can be formal or informal. For this assignment, you will take informal field notes, much like a personal journal, on your impressions of what you learned in the Week 1 module materials.
Submit your “field notes”. You may hand write them or type them in a Word document with a .doc or .docx document file extension. If you hand write your notes, make sure they are legible. Scan them and submit them as a .pdf file extension document.
Use correct grammar, punctuation, and complete sentences in your field notes.
Be sure to review the grading rubric before you submit your assignment to make sure you are including all the required elements.
Optional: Get ahead! Receive specialized writing feedback by submitting your paper for review.
