    Comments on the book:

    There are too many questions left unanswered. I mean, that's the way the book is written with all the problem sets, however, for the course and exam preparation it was not always helpful.
    ---
    Seemed to repeat a lot of proof not outlining how each was different.
    ---
    too expensive, first 150 pages useless

    Comments on the lectures (constructive suggestions welcome):

    Somethimes I didn't get the point of change- when he started to talk about something else. Do not be so confusiong, explain everything properly
    ---
    One of the best lecturers I ever had
    ---
    I thing for time dependent problem should develop.
    ---
    The lecturer speaks and writes well.
    ---
    I liked Murtazo's rational perspective on things. The lecture was very interestingly presented.
    ---
    When some thesis/equations were introduced, I did not fully understand why were they significant at that moment - perhaps more reference to the practical implementation should be done while proceeding with theory.
    ---
    I found the lecturer moving a bit fast in some of the lectures. The exrecise sessions really proved worthwhile. The topics that were not completely clear to me in theory lectures were made clear when I attended the exercise seissions. The frequency with which exercise sessions were arranged was very good.


  9. Are you preparing for the lectures (reading relevant sections in the book etc.)?

    1. 0% (0 st) Yes, always.
    2. 13% (2 st) Often.
    3. 33% (5 st) Sometimes.
    4. 33% (5 st) Seldom.
    5. 20% (3 st) Never.


  10. How many of the excercise sessions have you attended

    2. 13% (2 st) 20-40%.
    3. 7% (1 st) 40-60%.
    4. 20% (3 st) 60-80%.
    5. 60% (9 st) More than 80%.


  11. What do you think about the excercise sessions pedagogically? (Is the teacher writing clear? Is there a good contact between teacher and student?)

    1. 7% (1 st) Very good.
    2. 33% (5 st) Good.
    3. 33% (5 st) Acceptable.
    4. 20% (3 st) Not that good.
    5. 7% (1 st) Bad.
    6. 0% (0 st) Have not participated.

    Comments on the excercise sessions (constructive suggestions are welcome):

    I think we were repeating uselessly a lot of things, some of the exercises were very obvious and easy, it was not sufficient preparation for the test
    ---
    Teacher was very confusing and not helpful enough.
    ---
    The exercise sessions really proved very useful in making the unclear concepts clear.


  12. Do you get sufficient help at the computer sessions?

    1. 33% (5 st) Yes, always.
    2. 13% (2 st) Often.
    3. 33% (5 st) Sometimes.
    4. 13% (2 st) Seldom.
    5. 7% (1 st) Never.

    Comments on the computer sessions:

    I didn't attend much of them I think it would be more helpful to offer the private consultating only, I prefere to work on it at home and consult only the gaps in it
    ---
    The software could have been explained making programming a lot easier.


  13. How much time did you spend on the laboration?

    1. 13% (2 st) Less than 9 hours.
    2. 53% (8 st) 9-14 hours.
    3. 33% (5 st) 15-20 hours.

    Comments on the laboration:

    maybe there could be more of them
    ---
    Great application of the knowledge obtained in classes.
    ---
    The Lab was okay from the amount of work. The reports are always a little bit disturbing.


  14. How much time did you spend on the project?

    1. 0% (0 st) Less than 9 hours.
    2. 0% (0 st) 9-14 hours.
    3. 20% (3 st) 15-20 hours.
    4. 80% (12 st) More than 20 hours.

    Comments on the project:

    I liked it, it was theory turned to praxis
    ---
    Great application of the knowledge obtained in classes.
    ---
    Some tasks were rather easy with Puffin, other ones pretty hard.
    ---
    It was rather hard, I understood what i was trying to do however it proved hard.

    1. 0% (0 st) Less than 15%.
    2. 20% (3 st) 15-30%.
    3. 27% (4 st) 30-50%.
    4. 47% (7 st) 50-70%.
    5. 7% (1 st) More than 70%.


  19. This course gives 6p. What do you think about that compared to other courses?

    1. 27% (4 st) It is fair with 6p.
    2. 0% (0 st) Should be 4p.
    3. 73% (11 st) Should be 7.5p.
    4. 0% (0 st) 6p is too much.


  20. Suggestions to improvements the course:

    A longer mathematical introduction is needed.
    ---
    should give more lectures on time dependent problem.
    ---
    The course was interesant, but I don't think that the theory introduced enables me to fully understand and implement FEM.


  21. Additional comments on the course:

    The theoretical part of the course is very hard for the students coming from the engineering field. This is why the project and the lab is done with a great ease, and the exam went really difficult.
    ---
    5 hours was not enough for written exam. There was not any time to think during exam.
    ---
    i spend too much time writing my result in latex. maybe it is better to concentrate more on the content!
    ---
    I found it very interesting to see some practical things that were shown during the last lecture.
