Teaching Style

Prof. JV’s classes are very engaging. The prof. makes sure that everyone understands. The slides are detailed & uploaded on Moodle regularly. Feedback sessions for project work were held fortnightly by the prof. to check on progress made

Tutorials/Assignments/Projects

The course had 70% weightage for course project with only 1 exam throughout the sem. Classes were split as theory (data analysis and design of experiments) and on Fridays, we did simulation examples on the Anylogic software. The course content was parallel to that week’s theme for project work. Every alternate week, each team had to present their work to the prof.

Motivation for taking this course

It is in the basket of 2 compulsory courses and is suggested to be taken before starting with IE electives.
