Unlike some other participants, I did not expect to do much personal research since this is very individual-specific. Course was rather London-centric in terms of research resources. Although there was much emphasis on social aspects which was interesting, the teaching was very informal and I felt could have been much more structured with a clearer and more detailed syllabus of what would be covered each week. Although it was interesting to hear about each participants findings as they conducted their personal research each week, I thought too much time was spent on this individual-specific activity. Overall, I found the course useful but was disappointed not too have covered more, despite me being unable to attend every week, especially the last 2 weeks.
