Course Difficulty

Course content was moderate in difficult but professor’s teaching made it more confusing and difficult to cope up with the pace of the course.

No attendance policy in online semester.

Pre-requisites

Nothing as such is required as a pre-req.

Topics Covered in the Course

Fluid statics, fluid dynamics-Navier-Stokes equation, flow in a pipe, flow over plate, losses

Teaching Style

Used very poor slides and the teaching style was also not up to the mark. It made people lose interest in fluid mechanics.

Feedback on Exams

Midsem- moderately heavy
Endsem- difficult and time consuming
