This module was a good learning experience. I have developed a lot of competencies. This was a good experience but it weas a challenging one. I learnt a lot of this about myself and this helped me. I believe that all that I have learnt is crucial in my learning experience.

Apart from the HSS1 competencies and the continuous personal developed other competencies. The competency that I developed was critical thinking. This was achieved through most of the content, which allowed me to be open-minded. The content made me think about issues in health and in life that I never previously knew. Some of the content really allowed me to think outside the box. The next competency I developed was reflective thinking. The weekly reflective entries allowed me to properly reflect on what I learnt. It allowed me to properly express what I have learnt. Other competencies were global and cultural awareness. Learning about health in the world and the different avenues of health, allowed me to know more about how other communities view health. Ethics and Accountability was developed with the bioethics sessions. These sessions were important with understanding how goodness, and what is right is viewed. It was quite thought provoking and allowed me to understand how morals are viewed and what morals are. Among the mentioned competencies other competencies that I developed were collaboration and this was through the group project. The next was systems thinking and this competency was developed in duration of the course.

I learnt about the health system and its structure. Learning this made me view health in a different spectrum. The most interesting topic I learnt about health was the medical pluralism. Medical pluralism talks about the different avenues of healthcare. This was really close to my heart because I related to it. Medical Pluralism is something that I do every time that I am sick. The different avenues are the folk sector, popular sector, and the professional sector. Another topic which I found interesting was the moral theories. These helped me see how other people view life. This was quite a thought provoking topic. It allowed me to look within. I had make up my own decision on what I find right.

What I learnt during the course, will play a huge role in my academic life. I developed writing skills, competencies that will help me in both my academic and personal life. This will allow me to be a good scholar and it will help me in my academics going forward.

For each of the HSS courses we created a module 0 that helps them setup their goals for the course and to determine what they want from their degree. It also orientates them to our learning philosophy and setting up their portfolios
