10)If you can change anything about this course, state what is and elaborate.
Answer: Well lecturer should teach the skills instead of just throwing us the modules. Lecturer should at least teach the very basis of the software. For example, I was struggling to find the button and icons in Adobe Photoshop. Next, financial aids should be given because we spent many money in buying the papers and ink. We know that we must spend money for education for this is too much. Luckily I have a printer with CISS, but about those who don't? Imagine those who dont have CISS and have to pay for original ink cartridge?
