Reflective Podcast
Having missed the first few lessons of Reaserching Africa in the 21st Century, I´ve decided to do a podcast for each missed lesson. I did most of the readings for each week and watched the videos. I provide a summary for each reading and video before offering my opinion on the topic of the week in general.
I really enjoyed this module as it challenged me to get out of my comfort zone. I loved that we weren´t simply required to read but we were also asked to watch youtube videos. I really liked the structure of the module and how it transitions nicely into a different topic each week. Lastly, I really enjoyed the assigments we were given each week as they were versatile and engaging.
Thank you Dr. Mirjam and Federica for a very insightful module.
