Comments
The unit was quite casual overall. The workload was not heavy and
the concepts weren’t hard. The unit was taught in an engaging
way where a Kahoot was held each week and before exam.
The online lecture videos were engaging as they explain the
theory and examples were also given. I couldn't have managed
without watching the lectures.
There was no tutorial. Instead, questions were given each week
based on the lecture and solutions were uploaded by the end of
the week. Videos explaining some of the questions were also
provided.
The mid semester test was 20 MCQs and practice questions were
given. The online quizzes had unlimited attempts, so students
could do the questions again and again until they reached the
desired marks. The writing assignment was based on an article
that was provided prior.
The exam was similar to the questions provided each week and
the online quizzes.
Work through all the questions each week and do all the practice
tests/exams. Kahoot was fun and helpful.
