Dear Mr. Champion
This report, entitled “Cooperative education as a model for experiential learning” was prepared as my 2A Work Report for PD2: Critical Reflection and Report Writing. This is my first work term report. The purpose of this report is to assess the importance of Co-operative Education and its use as a learning model in the professional growth of students.
PD2 is designed to help students learn critical reflection and report writing. The activities of the course guide students through the process of writing a formal report. Through the completion of the course assignments and the creation of this report, I have learned how to complete a report following a set of guidelines. I have also had the opportunity to reflect on my current skill set and to identify areas for improvement.
This report was written by me and has not received any previous academic credit at this or any other institution. I have received no assistance in writing this report.
Sincerely,
