Thank you for the excellent reflection. This was quite skillfully written for the most part and you have done a great job of capturing the essence of the readings/materials and your personal insights. I particularly liked how you focused on the relevant content from the course materials and applied these to education. Moreover, I appreciate that you incorporated additional references (e.g., Lamoureux) to support your arguments. Well done!
