Teaching Style

Online lectures, the professor used slides and a stylus to explain things. Expected the class to be interactive and seldom gave bonus points for answering non-trivial questions.

Tutorials/Assignments/Projects

Lengthy Assignments with a fortnightly frequency. No project and tuts.

Feedback on Exams

Lengthy but easy exams given that one has a good grip on the content.
