Teaching Style

Live classes during class hours which were recorded. I felt the teaching was quite good. The prof has a slow-decent pace (perfect in 2x). Concepts were explained very cleary. Course contents were interesting even though theoretical.

Tutorials/Assignments/Projects

Assignments are given after every lecture which are due in 1 week. Very small assignments with 4-5 ques which have answers within the slides. Very helpful to stay updated with the rest of the class. Help a lot for your preparation. Have 0.5% weightage each.

Feedback on Exams

Exams were moderate. Theory and numericals have equal weight. Correction was quite strict.

Course Importance

Introductory course for composites and basic metallurgy.
