Initially when I first started this course I was nervous but
happy. When I started to do the modules I was dishearten, discouraged and
disappointed because I didn’t understand what this course was about. I even thought
that the teachers were barking mad and didn’t make much sense because they
would gave an advisor or a tip and I will try to do the work according to how I
interpret their advice. Then when I get my work back with all these suggestions
I was confuse. When I even meet with my SIG buddy, we would made comments about
the course and teachers about how confusing this is. I even thought at some
point that my advisor was crazy and didn’t make sense.
Now that I am also to the end of the course and about to
complete it, I realised that it was me who was barking mad, crazy and confused.
I now really appreciate this process and all the advice I got from the teachers
especially Adesola and I am so grateful for all her help and support. This
course I think not just help you gain a qualification but it gives you tools
that you can use for life in any profession. It prepares you more for life (not
just professional or academic life) than the normal degree and I remember Alan
saying this to me right at the start of the course. This course allows growth
and reflection.
Before I did this course I did a lot of reflection and
analysing because of my Performing and sporting background. These disciplines
allows it participants to reflect and analyse self performance so that they can
be the best that be, however, the reflection only relates in these fields. What
this course allows students to do is not only to reflect things within their
profession but within their lives. It allows students to view the whole picture
and circumstances and this module (module 3) has really homed these skills in.
Module one teaches you the different forms of learning, analysing and reflection
and how not to see what seems like a failure but has a success (celebrating your failures). I will take
these skills to my students and my next career to help support them through
difficult times especially when they think that they are failing.
So to all the staff at BAPP, THANK YOU and I wish you all
the very best for the future
