2. Discuss how you applied the theories, concepts and skills you learned during your academic program to actual practices within the experiential learning activity. For example, in what ways did you apply what you’ve learned in solving problems or engaging in exercises, learning new tools/techniques or technologies, interacting with others in the experience or successfully completing assessments?
3. How did the activities in which you were involved help either demonstrate your knowledge, skills and abilities in meeting your selected program competencies or enhance your current job skills?

3. What would you like to have accomplished that you were unable to because of time, other priorities, etc. How would experience from these accomplishments benefit you in a professional setting? For example, was there an exercise or related project you wanted to finish? Or were there projects in which you would have liked to have been involved that would have provided you opportunities to network with others?
