it is good course it more useful to us and i learn lot information for this course thanking you giving for this opportunity
very friendly to the students
good
good
It is so difficult for mechanical students to do programming assignments with zero knowledge on C++
The lectures are too boring and non-practical. All the courses except this FEM is not a worthy one
Absolutely amazing¡¡ Where is the other course in continuum physics in MOOC format? I can't wait.
Exceptional!
Need to invest a great deal of time to understand thoroughly.
A must take course if you intend to one day tackle real world finite element based Physics simulations.
There are finite element method software packages that lead us to believe that we don't need to understand the finite element method (FEM) in order to make physics simulations.
That is true if you just want to study simple academic problems. However if you want to simulate the real world you need to understand the basics of the FEM. This course will provide you with these basic tools.
Instructions (in lecture and coding assignment) are clear and easy to follow. Contents of the lectures are somewhat repetitive, but I think it's OK because it allows you to go over previous materials just by watching the lecture and taking notes. Talking about potential improvement, I think it would be nice to give some more explanations to certain details, such as how the connectivity matrix is constructed.
