Reflection
I have gained a lot of insight from this module in terms of materials, construction and construction details. This has truly been one of the most interesting modules so far and I am looking forward to being able to use this information in the future. All of the tutors have really helped understand this module by giving us information based on their experience and also based on what they have learned.
