The Strategic Planning in Social Care course was a great experience for me. I liked how the course was structured, with a mix of theoretical and practical content. The instructors were really helpful, and the discussions with my classmates were always engaging. One of the most useful things I learned was how to conduct a SWOT analysis and create a strategic plan for a social care organisation. The course materials were pretty good, but I think some of the readings could be updated to include more recent research. Overall, I'm happy with what I learned, and I think it will be useful in my future career.
