What You're Looking At

This is my PR1 Critical Reflection Portfolio for COM7098 Research Methods and Study Skills which is submitted as part of my MSc Computer Science Conversion at Buckinghamshire New University.

The short version: I completed seven out of eight modules over the course of a year, and this is me looking back at all of it critically and honestly. What landed, what was hard, where I performed well, and a few things I think the programme itself could have done better.

Around the site you'll find per-module reflections, cross-cutting themes (motivation, independence, PDP growth), a news watch accumulated over the year, a mark timeline, and my thoughts on the dissertation ahead.

There's a comment section at the bottom of every page. Each page has its own independent comment section. Comments left on one page won't appear on another. Commenting is password-protected, so only those with the password can post or delete comments, but anyone visiting the site can read them.
