I really enjoyed this course and I did find that I need to revisit this about more often. I used to work with this structure and I wonder if the overall mark will be a basis on percentage on average on the quiz. I’ve got the lowest mark on the last one resitting but I will review and resit it to get it applicable in my memory.
