Nice course most of the time even the modules I don't like are still useful. Except for the year two team Project, who decided on this. I don't take a single useful module for this. I don't know how to make a website, I don't know the programming languages to help make anything, I've tried getting access to those courses btw (it didn't work), and resulted in a two term project where the only thing I could contribute was writing documents and reports, an absolute waste of my time and energy, I learnt nothing and gained nothing, and my teammates were effectively down a person causing more effort on their end. Horrible idea to put my course into that module. read more
