Student Course Reflection
Over the past nine weeks, I have learned a tremendous amount of information that will be beneficial and help prepare for college and the pursuit to my career goals. I have found that every week I learned new information, refreshed my memory on existing information, and allowed myself to have phenomenal learning experience.

The long term results of receiving a higher education is creating a career, maintaining financial stability, and the ability to use what I learned in college in day-to-day activity. The value of completing a degree in higher education contains short-term and long-term values. The short-term values are the job skills that I receive, having improved communication skills, to maintain critical thinking skills, ability to have problem solving skills, to evaluate solutions, general knowledge, and one that I find to be important, broadening my prospective. The long-term values of receiving a degree in higher education are getting the qualifications needed for a career, the increasing salary, improving job conditions, ability to set examples for my children, and most important, becoming proud of the accomplishment that I have made for myself.
I can use the tools and assessments in this course to help myself in my future courses and my career plans by applying everything I have learned to my future classwork and toward my career. University of Phoenix library, Center of Writing Excellence, Riverpoint Writer, Plagiarism Checker, Write point are all exceptional tools that I have used so far and would make a considerable asset to my
