Not everyone wants to become a software developer, but basic coding may still help with problem-solving, automation or understanding technology.

Do you think non-tech students should learn a little coding? Which language or type of project would be a good starting point?

Using one password everywhere is risky, but remembering many strong passwords is not easy either.

Do you use a password manager, a pattern, written backup, or another method? Please don’t post any real password here o 😄

Many security problems start from simple habits: weak passwords, clicking strange links, ignoring updates or sharing codes.

If you could teach every student just one safety habit, which one would you choose and why?

I hear words like router, IP address, server and network all the time, but explanations can become technical very quickly.

How would you explain networking to a beginner using an everyday example? No heavy grammar please.

Sometimes the biggest improvement comes from a very small habit: reviewing notes for ten minutes, starting assignments early or asking one question after class.

What simple habit has made a difference for you? It does not have to sound impressive.

Group work can become frustrating when one person disappears and returns near the deadline expecting the same mark.

Do you confront the person, report it, divide the work again or just finish it yourself? What is the fairest approach?

Each format has advantages. Videos can be replayed, live classes allow questions, and reading notes can be faster when you need one specific point.

Which one works best for you and why? Would you prefer a course that combines all three?

Some tutors know the subject very well but make it hard to understand. Others explain difficult things in a way that feels simple.

What qualities help you learn: patience, examples, humour, quick feedback, clear speech, practical demonstrations? Mention the one that matters most to you.

Phones can help with research, calculators, dictionaries and recording notes. They can also distract the whole class in seconds.

Would you allow them freely, ban them, or set rules for when they can be used? Explain your reason.

The closer the exam gets, the more some people try to study everything at once. That usually makes the stress worse.

What is your calmest exam routine? When do you start, how do you test yourself, and what do you do the night before?
