My Role as a Student In Higher Education
My initial thoughts of being a student in higher education has been changing as the months have gone by with my first set of thoughts being optimistic as I had never attended a university before and was not sure of what to expect.
The first week was tough for me as attendance was being pointed out, having students turning up to lectures late, proving to be a distraction.

I have learnt a lot of team working skills through group discussions and group activities, learning to respect others opinions.

Within my new class, I noticed we all had mixed feelings about the situation at hand and we all agreed we needed to keep our minds open, adapting to my new class but I feel I struggled with the socialising as I only saw them once a week.
One thing I have noticed is that the role of being an adult learner has been shown throughout all my modules, having weeks off to complete set work. I have a module set to complete in my
