felt that the content could be more comprehensive and perhaps the instructor could give more examples and exercises for complicated functions. Felt that the instructor gave too many breaks and there was quite a lot of lull time. The assessment was comprehensive but I feel that the oral component was rather unnecessary (Posted on 11/12/2021)
