Complete a reflection report: (Please add the page number with in-text citation) All writing assignments should follow the APA 6th style. Reflection report should consist of two sections: 1) what interests you the most (key learning points), and 2) why?

Each report should be at least one page in length and single-spaced (don’t forget to insert your name and submission date on the top of the report).
