      • good sessions
      • its a intresting workshop..i lyk ds workshop a lot
      • good
      • Good
      • good resource persons with good knowlegde of the software.
      • The presentation was very interactive.....
      • Its good to have this workshop. Would like to learn more in depth regarding this.
      • Good work shop!
      • Good Luck, Good India.
      • require hands of experience,
      • The workshop is being conducted in interactive manner. It is good.
      • The presentation was excellent. It would be better if the participants more time to solve. Whatever we are learning can be learnt well with good basics. One sessions can be conducted with only theoratical examples of what kind of problem can be solved.
      • It does'nt seem to be a 2 day workshop !Teaching is very good. The course timings could have been shortened and no of days could have been made 3.
      • Good work.... keep it going guys!!! :)
      • The last session went very fast..
        since workshop started 1 hour late(approximate) instructors were aiming to complete scheduled sessions. thats why all this happened.
      • High density packed modules handled by experts and pitched at entry level 101 primer. Would have been more effective if a prerequisite knowledge of some languages like, matlab, mathematica, c, c++ was presumed. For greenhorns who are novices to even PCs, laptops,they find it difficult to keep up the pace.
        A good motivator for the startups.
        Thanks.

      • Good
      • Expected some comparision analyses between properietory and opensource.. giving pro's and con's of both.
      • Day 2 session at afternoon was very fastand not able to follow the concept it
      • It was good.We expected more of scientfic data examples rather the programming basics. Few more real scientic applications were expected
      • sessions were good
        But went very fast
      • ok..ok..
      • The workshop was very good and interactive.
        Thank you.
      • The 1st session of day 2 should have been done on the 1st session of the 1st day ! Teaching is very effective. All the 4 teachers are exceptional. But there were too many topics to be covered in 2 days !Otherwise, it was worth attending the workshop !
      • sir you can focuonlys more on maybe application areahe site like solving equations and all istead of rushing to cover up all the topics you can give thrust now onapplications and people can learn basic in all area in the onlye site
      • It would be better if the purpose of conducting the workshop is told more clearly. Few of the faculty members pursuing PHD really want help from those tutors. So how to contact them may be told.Iam sorry to say lazy fellows like me would like to get work done with payment and then learn how those experts have done.
