Why did you decide to study with University of Tasmania?
The program offered at UTAS was the most suitable for my needs. The online program is both flexible and well directed.
What is your favourite unit/subject so far? Why?
I prefer Current Issues in Second Language Learning. The cultural and anthropological conflicts I have encountered in my past experiences abroad have long been food for thought for me and the coursework in this unit is certainly broadening my understanding of the subject.

I've really enjoyed the freedom afforded in writing the reflective journals.
Any advice for future students?
