Meeting 3:

• Tuesday 25.11.2014 11:15-12:00, room 1128 (SB2)
• Very little feedback from the class, the students seem to be satisfied with the course.
• Project:
  • The impression: Students have spent less time this year than before - still more, but closer to the target 36 hours. This is good!
  • The problems were more open this year, students more free compared to last year. This was positive.
  • "Too much focus on numerics".
    • There were analytic techniques that could have been used, e.g. separation of variables in problem 1. Probably techniques like self-similar solution and perturbation could also work.
    • Next year: Try to give more hints in the problem discription to way of finding analytic simplified/approximate solutions.
  • Statistics: At least two groups did Monte Carlo simluations of the diffusion of transmitters.
• Lectures:
  • Students well satisfied, structured lectures, speed high but ok, good explanaition of the required physics/chemistry/biology
• Problem sets:
  • Long and good. "Voluntary and get solutions, so long is good"
  • Some student do them and others not.
• Compendium:
  • The students seems to be happy with the compedium.
