4.5 Appropriate content and pedagogy approach for creative thinking and knowledge application
- It makes calculations easy thus making message decoding easy”
- It was easy to apply
- Because it shows the basic steps to reach on the final answer
- It is simple because answers are direct
- Bring the answer easily when used
- R can show you where you have made a mistake and edit it then you will be able to notify it to get the required solution.
