Describe your learning experience during the entire course including class discussions, virtual visit to the USF Herbarium and Florida Plant Atlas, group brochure project and interactions with group members and other peers. In this reflection you are expected to address how your own academic background and perspective was enhanced by various aspects of the medical botany course, how it enabled you to become a more informed citizen capable of making scientifically sound judgements about one or more contemporary environmental, political and/ or social issues (such as but not limited to nutrition, herbal supplements, GMOs, opioids, global warming, deforestation and loss of biodiversity, Covid-19 and infectious diseases, etc) and whether you were able to incorporate new ideas, or change your perspective or another person’s perspective based on evidence. Please use double space and use 12 pt. font.
