10. If you can change anything about this course, state what is and elaborate?

The number of modules given should be reduced because some of the steps are unclear and are not provided with print screen. So I faced lots of difficulties in finishing the modules. Besides, some of the steps are not the same like what it appears on our laptops. So we need to find other tutorials such as tutorials on the youtube in order to complete it.

On a scale of 1 – 10, please rate your computing and technological skills for both before and after undergoing the course.
Before - 3
After - 8
