This module is good and I really liked it. I do wish that we learn more about how to use different software and what software works best for what responsibilities.

Thanks a lot.

It has been a little bit hard because all the topics that are involved have many things to talk about, however you brief them very well.

Thanks again

It could have been much for fun if I can have the eye contact with the instructor. If it was about the bad location of the prompter I think it can be improved.
