When you do that, you can learn and grow from experiences. In this forum, you will reflect on what you have learned from your efforts on the Week 2 paper. As you respond to your peers, you will review their work in Folio and exchange useful advice. This forum is an opportunity for peer-to-peer support; therefore, your instructor will not be participating in the forum but will be reading your responses and providing feedback within the gradebook.
