My introduction to the world of BAPP started yesterday and to be honest, i'm having mixed emotions.
On the way back from my induction (a 2 hour drive) i couldn't help myself from thinking of all the topics that i would like to include in my modules, what sort of title i might be choosing, how was i going to start my blog? This obviously means that i'm excited about starting a new chapter in my life. However, i also seemed to panic quite a lot after reading some parts of the module handbooks etc. Do students just get used to this? Does it become easier? Or am i just panicing, because i haven't done anything like this since leaving school in 2003.
We were asked yesterday to look up the words "Systematic" and "Rigorous" which can both be placed under the theme of "Academic." I had no problem finding my queries to "systematic" and many sources seemed to explain perfectly for me what i was looking for. But "rigorous" seemed to be quite hard to find an explanation or more simplified breakdown until i came across this quote about Rigorous Learning.

Think about chocolate for a moment. You can read a dictionary definition of chocolate, but to really know what it is, you have to taste it. To really understand rigorous learning, you have to experience it.I'm pretty sure that i will be experiencing some rigorous learning during my time on the BAPP course....
