If you can change anything about this course, state what is and elaborate?
Firstly, I want to highlight on the Module given. Generally, the burden to finish up the module is so high. Sometimes it is not suitable with the duration of the submission date. Other than that, there are a lot of mistakes and wrong information on the module itself which it can give confuse to the student. Second, sometimes the task given is actually a repeated version. it might be a same topic but in different task. So, I think we just waste our time doing the same task. If we were given a new task on a new topic it is so meaningful towards our lesson.
On a scale of 1 – 10, please rate your computing and technological skills for both before and after undergoing the course.
I give six (6)
