Seminar reflection™ is now officially trademarked by me🙃 Whenever you use it, you’ll have to give me a like 👍 This was a new approach to seminar discussions that Dr Terrett had never introduced before, and compared to the original way of hosting a seminar, there were both many benefits and drawbacks to this new … Read more
