2.0 Lecture

Mr. Fauzi did his last consultation with us for Project 4. He mentioned that consultation is very important and he would like students who haven't consult to consult before they proceed with their work. He wants us to make improvement before handing in our final work. 

He dismissed those who already submitted their work or already have their feedback.
