What I would highlight: The advertisement was appealing and I found the programme quite useful. Also, the teacher was quite accommodating.
What could be improved: The learning centre was hard to find for most students and it became a topic of discussion during break time. So, the directions presented on the website needed to be modified with more clarity.
