The semester have been really tough but in this course things were manageable .In terms of other courses just like the Environmental sciences things have been hectic , the course is demanding and have lot of science work and had lot of break downs for this semester partly because of that course .The challenge that I have faced in this course have been nothing but course work .This section of the course have too much notes and the course is demanding , from the slides up to the reading .It has been too much to keep up with the work , to an extent that I have skipped some lecture slides but to continue doing what the Lecture is doing on that particular week either than that this course has been the best and manageable one so far. The topics for each module seem interesting but could not be able to finish all the reading and some few lectures in module one .What has been challenging mostly on this section for me was the Systems , never encountered a problem when it came to Theories because some parts were self-explanatory .In the second module which was Working with vulnerability it was quite interesting even finished the lectures .The third Module which is the one that we currently doing I am love with it maybe it is because its talking about substances of which it is what we as students mostly exposed to .
 
 Systems theories basically was all about how different systems interact with one another .Theories was all about the application of skill and understanding of theories and talked about theories in social work practiced which guided the social workers in doing their work .I have also learned about Trauma which has a huge impact in ones life , how being exposed to an abuse for example sexual abuse can have a huge impact in your life .

Highlights for this course is that it is understandable .Grateful that I am in the extend degree where I get to have a tutorial , it has helped a lot in things that I did not understand such as the Systems for module one .Also it has been great in term of giving out the correct scope , where we get to find exactly what the Lecture and the Tutor said the quizz will be about .I think plus tuts are important for a four year programme as the is too much work for each course the tutors are there to help us to unpack the work load .In terms of doing better in plus tutorials , I have not seen or feel like my tutorial was not helpful .I try to make it a point that I come to the tutorials because they are very helpful in terms of the work that I did not understand and my tutor has been doing everything good , from asking questions which makes us to participate and engage as students also she never made one to feel uncomfortable in terms of asking questions .Because it happens that we as students do not want to attend the tutorials because we afraid that we are going to be randomly selected to answer questions , here you just have to answer the terms that you chose and ask questions where you don’t understand .The students are responsible for participating in the plus tut and attend the tutorials also ask questions , which that has happened in this tut .My take home message I have learnt that we are all connected and this course is also connected in terms of what the first and second lecture have talked about and basically talks more about how it can help people to do better .

In conclusion in this essay I have written how has the semester been .Touching on the challenges which are the struggles that I have faced during this semester in this course and other courses, the highlights which can think as the best part of this course  also for other courses and the development and growth .And concluded to  talk about what is a take home message , what have been learnt in terms of the content and is anything that students would love to be added to the session.
