I’ve said prior to this they taught a little bit of the content wrong, fetch decode execute cycle, they put the program counter as a part of execute, never heard of this, couldn’t find anything supporting this… but everything else, can’t really fault, actually just amazing, my person tutor is very caring and makes sure that I’m doing well and that everything course related, housing, and mentally is going well for me. Lecturers are charismatic and can teach really well, farzad and nadim particularly are very good. Couldn’t recommend this place enough to be completely honest.
