For the foundation year in computing we haven’t learned a lot and I felt like that was a whole year of nothing just to get in to the university it was a good experience to make friends in this period but I haven’t learned anything. Hopefully starting year 1 the actual course starts and It will be much better as it is not QA anymore but just the university. read more
