  2.  
  3. Thinking back over the period of time since your last reflective essay, what is the most useful things you learned about software engineering from the readings?  Describe how you used this on your project and what you learned from using it.
As shown on the calendar, the course events that occurred since reflective essay #3 include the Microsoft visit, the second project delivery, the testing session at Quardev, project feedback, peer review feedback, a couple of Pragmatic Programmer chapters, personality types, and the mood chart.  You might find lessons from these areas, or from others not mentioned above.

Note: Use no more than 1 page of plain ASCII text (do not use DOC, RTF, PS, PDF or other binary formats).
Non-textual artifacts in the form of images, if any, are limited to 1 additional page. Use only common graphical formats, such as JPG and GIF. (If special software - other than a common browser - is needed in order to view your images, then you're doing something wrong.)
Should you need a scanner, you can find one in Allen 006, at least. Save the image to JPG / GIF format and attach it to your submission. If for some reason you are unable to scan your artifact, mention this in your submission and bring the artifact to class on the date the essay is due.
