Quotes
Really good classes, easy to follow.
He should teach us the math parts of the curriculum by actually writing on the whiteboard, like in a mathematics class. Not the implementation parts, of course.
Too many mandatory assignments late in the semester. The last finite element wave project should have earlier deadline than 25. november.
There are several courses covering finite differences. I feel that too many of the exercises were concerned with finite differences, especially because so many of the lectures were concerned wtih Fem.
Fantastic course material. Structured and real thorough
He has made extremely good course notes for INF5620. He really cares about the students.
