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.

While some people will benefit more from a structured approach than others, too much structure be restricting and discouraging.

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.
