There are three tasks that make up the Learning Log, which includes the requirement to submit a minimum of 200 words each week to the asynchronous tutorials.  The Learning Log will provide evidence of the students' own learning and skills development.  It is a record of what has been learned, tried and critically reflected upon and as such it should develop and evidence the student's own learning on the subject of Business Operations Management.
