10. What do people think? I found it really interesting… the way it’s presented, the way the different sections flow has made me think about what I did know in a different way. I’ve actually learnt a lot, and now I’m having to think about what I thought was good practice My enthusiasm for the current Open University course that I'm studying... has been revitalised with an excellent [assessment] question. We're allowed to choose our own search topic. I find it far more rewarding to work on a subject that I can relate to rather than having one set.
