Week 2

Assignment: * Collaborate with your learning team to discuss the previous week’s objectives. * Discuss what you learned, what could be applicable to your workplace or personal life, and how your knowledge has increased as a result of what you experienced through the learning activities in the previous week. * Submit your team summary of the discussion in a 1- to 2-page Microsoft® Word document.
