I was required to interact with people and produce a piece of work in a certain period of time which also developed my organisation and time keeping skills. This was achieved by attending set meetings outside the seminars and completing the allocated tasks for specific deadlines. This was one way that I completed my target to meet lots of new people as I was required to work with people that I had never met before. The practical session on the Crime scene investigation module helped me to put my academic knowledge in to practice. This was acheived by working in the laboratory and following the set instructions provided thus developing my practical skills which were never my strongest point. The library and IT workshops that I have attended have increased my ability to use the library which is not something I was very certain of before attending the workshop. On completion of the modules i am now more self sufficient and my motivation skills have helped me to become a more independent learner and work by myself without guidance. I developed my IT skills during the research methods of seminar by putting the knowledge that I gained in my lectures into practice on SPSS. I am now a lot more efficient at using statistics to produce graphs on SPSS and have used these skills to compete my research methods
