Assalamualaikum everyone. It had been a hectic week for all of us. In recent class, we were taught and ask to do a course ware program. And we need to use a specific application called Smart Builder 4. My first impression towards the application was, it was very hard to use because they are too many buttons and settings. We need to pay attentions when our lecturer was teaching how to use the application. The most important part was to try and error. Even you had followed each steps that you had been ask, you will still face problems sometimes. The final assignment had been given for all of us. It was a group work and I had chose Ayie and Wan as my teammates. We worked great together and managed to submit our course ware entitled Fruit Land on time. The whole experienced making the course ware was very meaningful and eye opening.
