Excellent,we learned a lot from you,Dr.Areti mam.The way you taught really helped us to learn basics of programming and a new Programming language Scratch and also will be missing you Dr.Areti mam
A good introductory course to programming using Scratch, which teach you about the concept in programming. It's interesting and statisfying to be able to make your own animation/simple game.
for a total beginner in coding, this course was the perfect start! It was easy to understand, and easy to program (coding wit already?)
Thank you so much for offering such a wonderful way to learn!
I love the way this course is designed! It's a really wonderful breath of fresh air.
Scratch is a wonderful tool for understanding programming before jumping into courses in programming languages.
