Hi everyone, Hope you're all settling in to the unit well by now. For those new to Macquarie, hopefully you're finding your feet and starting to enjoy being part of this vibrant community. In Week 2, we made a great start on our first module: Ethics, Governance and Justice. I have seen some fascinating discussions around the disjunction between what is legal and what is just. Keep up the good work! In Week 3, we will deepen our understanding of this theme.

Self-Guided Learning - taking control of your own learning - is a lifelong process which requires independence, direction, and self-reflection. As an act of independent learning and self-directed progress, the process may sometimes be challenging or confronting, but it is often rewarding. At its best, this framework can help you identify your goals and work towards them, though hurdles can commonly present themselves when you are uncertain of your next steps.
This is the first of three modules which give you the tools necessary to ask yourself 'what do I want to learn?' and action the answer. The first will introduce you to the benefit and utility of self-guided learning. The second teaches you how to critically self-reflect. The third assists you in the creation of a Learning Plan - a tool to help you identify and focus your self-guided learning goals. What is Self-Guided Learning? How do I practice Critical Self-Reflection? How do I create a Learning Plan? "What Do I Want To Learn?"
