“TutorAR is way more engaging and like effective for me personally and learning the information than taking down code, transcribing it and cracking your neck as well.” - FG;M1
“I thought it was really good, easy to use and you could go at your own pace. You didn’t have to be keeping up with the tutors and when they read through the code, you have to understand everything as they say it.” - FG;M2
“I would like to see it being incorporated into the new material. It's easier to use that's just plain and simple, that's my experience anyway I would definitely say it should be. “ FG;M4
