Good course

The content of this course was interesting and I learned how to code a lot of different elements such as creating a server and clients.
Each lesson was a little bit too short for the content we had to cover so we were sometimes behind the unit number

FunTech Response


I believe the group had a lot of questions and as such the group were behind.

That said, we extended the lessons and added some prep sessions so all content was successfully covered by the end of the course.

Looking at the groups end of term test results, due to the intense questioning, your group were in the top ten of all students at FunTech! 

Pays to ask questions in class! 

Can't believe the upcoming year will be the 7th year for you at FunTech!

See you in September!

I HAVE TRIED OUT 6 COURSES BEFORE I FOUND FUNTECH.

I THE OTHER 6 COURSES THAT I TRIED OUT I KNOW I WOULD HAVE NOT LEARNT AS MUCH AS I HAVE LEARNT IN FUNTECH.

I HAVE LEARNT AT LEAST 100 THINGS IN FUNTECH.

IT IS NOT JUST FUN. IT IS AMAZINGEST.

I believe that you fell behind on a few homework assignments, which then resulted in these having to be redone, which I can appreciate can be demotivating.

That said... you have now caught up and I believe a great lesson learnt - don't fall behind ;)

The teachers are quite friendly and really good at communicating with students. Despite that however I find it a bit cumbersome to have type reviews every lesson as it...

The reason we ask for feedback after each session, is to ensure that you have fully understood what has been taught, if not of course we would book a 1-2-1 prep session for you. 

So sadly, a must!

Interesting but difficult

An interesting course about gaming in python but a lot of code needs to be memorised. Quite a bit of content and time needs to be spent learning it all. It is very intriguing to learn.

FunTech Response


The previous 3 years of courses that you have done with us are about learning Python and Python OOP.

This course teaches how to implement those skills in building a game engine, which is challenging.

However, I can see that you have not completed any of your Consolidate IT challenges which are available after class, and their objective is to help you consolidate what you covered in class.

Next year I would highly recommend that you complete these as C++ will be even more challenging :)

Year Review

Funtech is a very fun interactive course where you can learn a lot, it is also very fun as you can learn how to do cool things e.g. create graphs and shapes. They are very immersed in our learning as if we put an amber face or below that make sure to check up on you and try and fix the problem....

More

FunTech Response


In order to teach you how to build a game engine, sadly the course does have to increase in complexity. 

However, I can see that you had several amber faces on your class feedback which is fantastic as then we were able to do something about it before your next lesson.

Looking at your end of term test results - wow! 

Despite finding it challenging well done for smashing it!

I will pass your comments to our development team.

Great year, learnt a lot

At the start I thought there'd be no way I'd be able to make a 2D game engine in Python, but here I am I guess. The Tutor was great and clearly knew a lot more than what was needed, so that was really great. I did get lost along the way a few times but I understood what was going on in general...

More

FunTech Response


I am so thrilled that you learnt how to make a 2D Game Engine!

Back in the day the course used to teach by building on a single project however, we felt that it didn't really teach all the principles to the standard we wanted.

We therefore developed another course where the primary focus was on teaching the concepts, where all students could go away and develop their own game. 

Both courses were piloted and the course where we focused on teaching concepts won hands down!

That said, I will pass your comments to our development team and see if there is anything that could be done.

This year I found that the lessons were a bit more dull. Even though they were very beneficial, I also found it quite boring. Next year I hope for the courses to be a bit more fun, but just as much tech!

Sorry to read you found the lesson a little dull, compared to the courses you have completed over the previous three years.
