I feel like i should write something intelligently witty here. Over this last semester i think that this module has helped alot and taught me a few things, some of which i already knew subconsciously but had never really given thought to and some things that i honestly would never have expected.

I thing I enjoyed most about the module was the way it was tested. Doing weekly blogs meant more work but it was in smaller more manageable chunks which is much better than having to cram information for other exams and this modules exam at the end of the semester. I enjoyed the module and would recommend it to all second years. I think more modules should adopt some of the concepts that this module demonstrates work.

Over the past few months, this module has taught me so much. Firstly, its taught me that self directed learning is possible and it really works. its been great to be able to talk about WHAT I want, WHEN I want. Next, that Jesse Martin really is a legend! The other day th.
