Thinking about Race, Ethnicity, and Culture

Throughout this program, you will be given opportunities to enter your thoughts. These opportunities--called Journal Reflections--will permit you to record your reactions to what you have read, your ideas, notes, questions, and concerns.

Above all, be honest in your reactions. If you save these entries and return to them later, you may be surprised at the changes they record over the course of the term.
