How are the services in your available printing facility in terms of efficiency?
It is not that quite efficient as there are times that they are not available. For example, their printer is not working or they are close for the day but you needed to print your file already.
I'd say the efficiency of my go-to printing facility is excellent. They deliver high-quality prints quickly and use the latest technology.
Have you noticed a printing facility near the center of the campus?
Aside from the printing facility in the market, none.
Yes. It's technically inside the campus, but it's quite a distance from my usual routes.
Did you avail any printing services today? How was the experience in terms of costs, time consumed, and travelled distance?
The distance is quite far and the price is not that friendly.
Yes, I did use a printing service today. In terms of costs and time consumed, it was quite efficient - the prices were low and the service was quick. The only downside was the distance, as it's quite far from the main building where I usually have my classes.
Do you have a separate budget for printing of handouts (student outputs, modules from teachers, etc.)?
None.
No, I don't have a separate budget specifically for printing handouts. Instead, I directly deduct these expenses from my regular allowance. It's a part of my overall spending plan.
Does your instructor/s require you to print handouts?
Yes.
Not really.
Do you print your own handouts or ask your friends to print them?
Sometimes, I need to ask my friend to print it. Sometimes, I need to walk a distance to accomplish my task.
I prefer to print my own handouts. I find it more convenient and it allows me to manage my own time and resources better. Plus, it gives me the flexibility to print exactly what I need when I need it.
Do you know or have you heard of anyone with the same sentiments about printing as you?
Yes.
Yes, absolutely. It seems like a common sentiment among us students.
Have you ever heard your friends or blockmates complain about printing your handouts?
Yes.
Yes. It seems like the issues of cost, time, and distance are common concerns among us.
How do you feel about needing to print a document that needs to be printed immediately in a particular moment?
It is frustrating to be stressed on that kind of thing.
It can be quite stressful when I need to print a document immediately, especially if it's for a class or a submission. The pressure of making sure it prints correctly, coupled with the worry about whether the printing facility is available or not, can be challenging.
What would you probably be worried about if your activities or handouts are not yet printed?
The deadline.
If my activities or handouts are not yet printed, I'd probably be worried about not being prepared for my classes. I might be concerned about not having the necessary materials for studying or for completing assignments.
How will you solve your problems concerning printing and photocopying?
Not sure, but the best thing (but expensive) I guess is buying your own.
I'd make sure to prepare and finalize my documents well in advance so I don't have to rush at the last minute. If distance is a problem, I might look for closer alternatives or even consider investing in a personal printer if it's within my budget.
