Final Evaluation

Well, it is the end of the line for me and New Communications Technology. The course content was awsome. I loved learning the origins of the net and the computer, and the way the concepts and theories made me think about the society we live in today. Introducing ideas like "Utopia" and "Dystopia" was also an interesting experience. Musing as to whether our future is going to be destroyed by half man, half computer cyborgs, or that the future may hold a fairytale where computers and human kind live in harmony, was really fun. The only problems I personally had was that i found it difficult to keep up with the readings. This is perhaps because of work related issues but that is regardless, and university should have been my main priority. A problem for myself and a few other friends in the course was the learning of the "photoshop" program. Luckily I had prior experience to the program but a friend of mine had no idea. I felt that perhaps a little more attention in the tutorials could have been made on emphasising that everyone knew how to use the program. The test was really good, and I felt there was a good range of questions. Overall the program was fun, insightive, intersting and i will certainly be recommending the course to first year students as an excellent starting point. Thanks for a great semester, regards, Lyle.
