This module is connected to a previous module, so I already had some experience going into it. However, that did not make this module any less challenging. I started the module already feeling behind, and I knew from the beginning that it would be difficult, so the level of difficulty was not a surprise. Despite this, I managed to make it through.
This module required me to go much deeper into the topic I chose in the previous module. Thankfully, I had selected a topic that I was comfortable with, which made the process more manageable despite the challenges. Through extensive research and exploration, I was able to engage deeply with the topic, which significantly strengthened my understanding.
Although this module was demanding, especially when it came to meeting the word count, I still found enjoyment in exploring my topic and developing a deeper understanding of it. Overall, the module pushed me academically while also allowing me to grow in confidence and knowledge.
