My year with Funtech

Funtech was a cool course which sometimes cheers me up on Saturday Mornings, the reason why I gave it a 4/5 was because the first term, when we were learning about Photoshop, I didn't think it was for me, I was only good at editing photos and pictures, I even help my dad edit his photos, but I ju...

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 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.

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.

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 :)

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.

Hi Hugo, we know you well now as you have just completed your 4th year with FunTech and am thrilled that you have enrolled for your 5th year with us.

Whilst I am sorry you didn't enjoy Advanced Word Processing which was covered in term one, I am extremely happy to see that you did really well on your end of term test. 

That said, we know you love the more technical courses and so not surprised you really enjoyed Advanced Spreadsheets and Databases with SQL.

Look forward to seeing you again in September!
