Reference group

If you have feedback on the course, contact the reference group and/or the lecturer directly.

Short summary: Students are for the most part happy with the course. Some more specific feedback: "some times the lecturing speed is high", "many new concepts and notation - a lot to remember", "recaps are good", "how is monotone defined?", "would like a note on monotone schemes and DMP", "nice with (compulsory) exercise + project, rather than just a (larger) project", "last week before Ex 3 deadline - students could follow other courses"

Some response: Thank you for the feedback, I work continuously to improve the lectures based on this and other feedback - including the speed (but I will never be slow ). (To reduce the speed a lot, I would need to skip explanations or leave things for you to read yourselves.)

• Monotone: In lecture I always talk about "positive coefficients", but in the exercises I use "monotone". I will update the exercises, and have added some precise references to my notes in 'curriculum' under 'Course info' in the menu.

• Note on pos.coeff. and DMP: I will make one if I get the time. Otherwise, see the my handwritten lecture notes (check the bullet point above). In week 7, I will define again pos.coeff. schemes and give the general DMP w proof.

Short summary: Students are for the mostly happy with the course. No so much feedback this time, but here are some: "Many deadlines in a short period of time", "a lot of overlap between week 1 and 3 on FEM theory", "Project supervision works well", "Project 2 shorter than project 1", "nice to have the longest project early in the semester (less competition with other courses)", "project 2 deadline early compared to lectures".

I will take these comments into account for next year version of the course, in particular deadlines and overlap. Originally the deadline for project 2 was one week later, but you have an excursion that week.

Short summary: Positive feedback from the students. The total workload was ok and as to be expected. Going to lectures was useful/instructive, and the students were satisfied with supervision, ok capacity. Info on wiki pages was good.

Much time spent on projects, and projects feels useful. Very nice that there is time to discuss the scores/grades of the projects before they are published (cleared out many misunderstandings). Project deadlines in many courses just before Easter (busy period).
