Feedback on Lectures

Lectures were slow paced and the instructor mainly followed his slides while teaching. As ours was an online batch, the course had no attendance policy. The lectures were monotonous at times, but reading the slides made up for it. The professor cleared all the doubts we had in the class itself. The course becomes a bit difficult during the latter half so attending the lectures seriously is advisable.

Feedback on Evaluations

As with most MA courses we only had one quiz and a midsem which served as the final evaluation for the course. As the course was conducted in an online fashion both the exams were objective and silly mistakes were heavily penalized. Quiz - 40% Midsem - 60%

Final Takeaways

Complex analysis is a beautiful topic and has applications in signal processing and control theory and I would suggest everyone to give the time the course deserves to fully comprehend it as the content is very rewarding.
