Q. No. 1 : What did you like the most about this course? (Responses: 6) 1. Details of each part presented well 2. The tips and tricks of optimisation 3. Programming assignments was the best Difficult topics were taught with ease and slowly so that whole class can follow 4. Teaching style to the professor and good management of the course 5. Teaching and involvememnt of the professor in keeping the class environment alive and drawing students attention 6. optimisation Q. No. 2 : What did you dislike the most about this course?

No. 3 : Any Suggestions or comments about the course. (Responses: 5) 1. More focus on optimisations 2. None 3. A little head start for assignments by explaining things like LLVM would have saved some time One such session was arranged and it did prove to be helpful 4. More guidance could be given for getting started for the assignments We had to spend a lot of time for the most basic things initially 5. no |
