Then in an initial post of 250 words in length,
- Provide a detailed assessment of your program of study, correlated to the learning outcome you have chosen.
- Evaluate how your course of study developed your skills in accomplishing this program learning outcome.
- Examine the challenges you may face in your future career for your chosen program learning outcome.
