    How to learn this course in a very effective manner
    (1) Attend all classes. Missing even one class may be harmful from the point of view
    of following the subsequent lecture. Reading from the textbook may not
    compensate for the class-lecture. In case, one class gets missed accidentally, get
    your notes updated from the textbook and by discussing with your fellow student.
    (2) Try to keep one of the six textbook mentioned above in the order of the
    preference in your room for self-study. Otherwise read from any other book of
    your choice.
    (3) As you are studying many courses, time management is very important. I suggest
    that you should spend 1 hour in your room for revising my lecture in the same
    day. It is better to do practice problems also. During weekends spend 2 hours for
    solving assignments. Apart from 3 hours of lectures, 5-7 hours of self-study is
    sufficient for doing excellent in this course.

    (4) It has been observed that many students solve the assignment sheets under
    pressure and sometimes copy the answers. Because of this, I am adopting a very
    flexible approach. Though the assignment sheet will contain many questions, you
    will have to submit only a few problems of you choice after every 15 days, in 4-5
    pages. Better to submit the problems in which you have doubt. Remember the
    purpose of assignments is to help you, not to penalize you. Get full marks for
    submission only, provided you submit in time. Zero credit for late submission.
    (5) Do not delay in giving me feedback if you have difficulty in following the
    lectures.
    (6) You may learn FEM packages like ANSYS on your own, taking the help from
    seniors. Course will focus more on improving the fundamental understanding.
    (7) Assignments will be kept on web site http://shilloi.iitg.ernet.in/~uday/intranet/.
