We did it! We handed in our last module.
I have spent some time going over old journal entries and reflecting on what I have found out about myself over this process.
This final module was the most extensive so far. As a process, this has been time consuming, sometimes stressful but ultimately rewarding and a positive experience. I have found it difficult to keep motivated and meet my targets. To help counter this, I implemented a strategy that included realistic target setting through a working diary. This has enabled me to systematically complete the module, improve my organisational skills and has reminded me that through hard work and perseverance, I am able to reach my goals.

Exploring different research strategies encouraged me to analyse myself and help me grow in confidence, realising that I wasn’t searching for an answer but for more enlightening information that lead me to more questions. I decided to take a pragmatic path, dealing with my research in a sensible way with practical solutions, rather than following strict theories or rules leading me to a definite conclusion. This should help me through my day to day life as well as in this Masters process to see that there can be grey areas and everything doesn’t have to be black or white and that situations are multifaceted, with various options or opportunities to be explored.
Following my feedback from module two, I came to realise that I needed to approach module three in a more positive light. This opened up my views about learning and the process of this masters in its entirety. I now understand the benefits of reflection and how valuable it can be both personally and professionally. Before this process, I had never given myself time to reflect on my practice or my achievements and I now use this tool to analyse my performance, ensuring I focus on the positives, not only the negatives. This process has also helped me to become more receptive of different ideas and different ways of learning and given me the confidence to attempt or partake in challenging situations and push me out of my comfort zone.
Overall, it has been an enlightening experience and now all we have left are our presentations. I can't wait to hear what everyone has been researching and exploring, but for now, we can say we have done it. No more essays (for now!) Pat on the back Module 3s!
