Reflect on the learning activities, concepts, ideas, and topics covered this week and discuss the most interesting activity or concept you learned this week as well as if there are any concepts that are still a bit confusing to you or that you have questions on.
Use at least one quote from this week’s course material within one of your discussion prompt responses to support your thoughts in your initial post. Be sure to use APA referencing and include the reference. Just as a reminder the citation may be inline.

You must then ALSO include underneath your post: Boss, J. (2021). THiNK: Critical thinking and logic skills for everyday life (5th ed.). McGraw-Hill Education.
