The final formative synthesis (1,000-  1500 words) will determine the last 25% of the final grade.

An effective final formative synthesis is a comprehensive discussion of what you are taking with you, including:

a. An integrated summary of significant learning from our texts, presentations, and discussion boards

b. Possible avenues for future study and research answering the following questions: what would you like to learn more about; which questions require further reflection; and how do you propose to take some creative initiative on these unresolved matters?

c. Applications of course related learning to your everyday practice of critical thinking and decision making
