Student, Stellenbosch University
"As a student looking forward to entering the working world and adding value to it, I used to feel really anxious about the transition. I was more anxious about failing to deliver work at the acceptable standard. However, this course has taught me to look at challenges and obstacles as learning experiences. If I fail when attempting a new task, that does not mean that I am incompetent. It simply means that I need more time learning and understanding the task at hand."
