The 'Basics of Aged Care' course at Stanmore School of Business was a valuable learning experience for me. As a student from Japan, I was interested in learning about the principles of aged care and how they are applied in different cultural contexts. The course provided a comprehensive overview of the topic, including the social and emotional aspects of aging. I appreciated the detailed examples and case studies, which helped to illustrate key concepts. One area for improvement could be the addition of more interactive elements, such as discussion forums or group activities. Overall, however, I was satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others looking to learn about aged care.
