Welcome Back

Tuesday 7th September

Welcome Back Zoom.

It was great to get back on Zoom yesterday evening and see some familiar faces and also new faces, the students starting module one. After several months away from the course, it felt great to be back with like-minded people with similar mindsets and backgrounds. I remember back to my very first zoom call and feeling so overwhelmed and unsure about what was to come. My main piece of advice to the module ones is: Communication is Key!! If you are feeling out of your depths then there are plenty of people to open up to get a clearer understanding.  The beginning of module one felt so difficult and stressful as I felt as though I was completely alone and wondering whether I had understood the objectives correctly. During the course, I connected with others via blogs, Facebook, and Whatsapp and it spurred me on to have more faith in my knowledge.

The next module and area of study are the curiosities that we have within our field and practice. Creating a deeper understanding of any concerns or questions and planning the research project for when we get to module 3. Learning from who is around you and those before you and how it has changed throughout the generations and how we have learned from it. I am very eager to get stuck into this module as I feel I have a greater understanding of the way the course works and how to manage my time for my studies.

Let's get started...
