Student’s Experience

Overall I really enjoyed this course, the format was OK and I definately understood most of the lessons at first go. The content was also great, I truly learned about not only coding, but also managing a team and planning my work, which is something that I did not expect to encounter when starting this course. I especially like that fact, becuase it not only allows me to explore other positions in software design, but I still use many of the graphs and charts for my progects in school and in my free time. I do wish that we did a bit more programming though, but I guess this was only a starting point for programming. The assesments I feel were well thought out, although at some times I did feel that we didnt have as much time as I would have liket, but this only boosted my time managment skills. Overall I truly learned an ecseptional amout of things for the short time that this course ran, and I feel that we are all very proud of ourselves.
Thank you for this awesome experience, and I wish only the best for you all.

When I've started this course I would never ever thought that I'd say that this was an enjoyable experience, but at this point looking back at everything, I really did enjoy it. Sure it was lots of extra work and it wasn't easy, but I've learned so much that it really was worth the effort. The format was really good, it wasn't especially hard either. This was an enjoyable experience and I don't regret doing this course and it really did gave me a lot.

Thank you for everything and I wish you all the best.
