Question
- What skill(s) you learned and where you learned it.
Thòisich mi ag ionnsachadh coimpiutaireachd o chionn trì bliadhna aig Colaiste Obar Dheathain. Bha mi fhathast anns a' chòigeamh bliadhna ach cha robh iad a' tabhann coimpiutaireachd aig an àrd-sgoil agam.
Question
- Why you wanted to learn this skill/these skills.
Tha ùidh mhòr agam ann an teicneòlas agus bha mi airson barrachd ionnsachadh mu dheidhinn sgilean coimpiutaireachd.
Question
- What the most difficult part of the course was.
Chòrd an clas rium ach bha an cùrsa glè dhoirbh an toiseach. B' e còdachadh an rud a bu dhorra. Rinn mi gèam coimpiutair mu dheidhinn dràibheadh agus aplacaid.
Question
- How you got on with the other students.
Fhuair mi air adhart leis a h-uile duine anns a' chlas. 'S e daoine snog a bh' annta agus bhiodh iad uile ag obair gu cruaidh. Bha mi a' faireachdainn gu math leisg! Rinn mi mòran charaidean ùra.
Question
- How you will use this skill/these skills in the future.
Tha mi an dùil coimpiutaireachd a dhèanamh anns an oilthigh agus bu toigh leam obair a dhèanamh ann an teicneòlas fiosrachaidh.
Question
- If you would recommend this course.
Mholainn an cùrsa seo gu mòr, tha mi a' smaoineachadh gun robh e dha-rìribh inntinneach. Dh'ionnsaich mi tòrr agus leasaich mi na sgilean agam.
