I feel that I have grown in competence with my use of IT and have gained valuable skills and experience in this field. My confidence in research and applying this appropriately to assessment topics has also improved and I am proud of what I have produced. I also feel a strong bond with my fellow students particularly those that I have worked with in practical projects and presentations and we really support one another.
