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 liked the fact that this was not weekly tests but weekly blogs because if it was weekly tests, my focus would be on trying to fulfill a content criteria rather than thinking about developing my skills.
