  • Essay / learning journal - 651

    INTRODUCTIONI am Hubert Were, Kenyan by birth and a finalist at UoPeople who is taking three courses in the current term. In this course, PHIL 1402 Quality Management, I look forward to gaining fundamental investigative and critical thinking skills and knowledge to help me better manage a business that meets customer requirements in a motivated environment.

Are we a cohesive group? Are we doing our job? The group is mutually interactive in a respectful manner and observing the code of ethics governing the virtual learning environment.

Day 9 (Friday March 14, 2014) I updated the learning log and submitted it to the instructor for evaluation and grading..
