Reminder:Feedback for MATLAB Programming for Numerical Computation
Dear student
We are glad that you have attended the NPTEL online certification course.
We hope you found the NPTEL Online course useful and have started using NPTEL extensively.
In
this regard, we would like to have a feedback from you regarding our
course and whether there are any improvements, you would like to
suggest.
We are enclosing an online feedback form and would
request you to spare some of your valuable time to input your
observations. Your esteemed input will help us in serving you better.

We thank you for your valuable time and feedback.
Thanks & Regards,

Exam, Grading and MATLAB Online
We are aware of the issues you faced while attempting the last question (coding) in the exam. Please see my forum post from last night (Sunday night):
https://onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in/noc17_ge02/forum?place=msg%2Fnoc17-ge02-discuss%2F71Ky2mqeF60%2FME4erBljAQAJ
[...] the problem will be graded by hand. There are partial marks for various steps.Yes, we are aware that this problem was due to the apostrophe. We will address this in a fair manner once we are able to look at all the solutions.
I have made a note of the various queries you have raised on this problem. I will look into the individual solutions, discuss with the NPTEL team, and we will then take a call appropriately.
It typically takes a couple of weeks for the process of grading. Thereafter, cross-checking, verification and upload may take another week. However, due to the special circumstances with the last problem, I request your patience for a little bit longer.
I understand you may be anxious to know the results soon; but we need time to do due diligence for a course with several hundred exam takers.
Finally, a note for those who used MATLAB Online. The licence was for the duration of this course. We are in grace period of the licence. Thereafter, you will not have access your codes. So, please download and backup your codes. Instructions for doing so are given at the following link:
https://onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in/noc17_ge02/unit?unit=82&lesson=84
Hope you had a good time learning MATLAB in this course. We will be around on the forum to answer any further questions.
With warm regards
Niket Kaisare
Wishing you all the best for your exam

Assignment 5 deadline extended until Friday 11 pm
There seems to be a DNS issues with some of the internet service providers (ISPs). The NPTEL team is trying to resolve this issue.
Therefore, the deadline for this assignment is extended to Friday (3rd March) at 11 pm.
The deadline extension is due to network issues. Hence, me or the TAs will not respond to any technical queries on Assignment 5 from now until Friday night.
Best
Niket Kaisare
Assignment 5 deadline extended until tomorrow (02 March) morning 11 am
It seems some of you had problems accessing the course website. When I tried to do so from airport today, I also got an error.
It was probably not an error at our end.
Nonetheless, some of you were unable to submit the assignment a couple of hours ago. Hence, we have extended the deadline by about 12 hours. Please submit the assignment positively before 11 am tomorrow morning (tomorrow = Thursday, 2nd March).

Welcome to Day-1 of the course
Welcome!
Today (23rd January) is officially the first day of this course. Almost 1500 students have enrolled since my last announcement. So, here is an announcement summarising what we have so far on the course website.
(This info is a repetition for those who enrolled earlier.)
The videos for the first module are uploaded on the course website:
https://onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in/noc17_ge02/unit?unit=10
The videos for the second module have also been uploaded ahead of time on the course website:
https://onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in/noc17_ge02/unit?unit=19
In fact, we had uploaded the videos for first two modules last week itself, so as to help participants ramp up their learning at their own pace.
The first assignment is also uploaded:
https://onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in/noc17_ge02/unit?unit=10&assessment=12
The first assignment will not be graded (and it does not have a deadline).
Assignments 2 to 8 will be graded; best 5 (of these 7) will count towards 25% of the course grade.
We expect you to use MATLAB to solve these assignment problems and submit the answers online. A help video for this has been provided in the "Course Overview... and Help Videos" section. The link for the video on how to submit the assignments is:
https://onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in/noc17_ge02/unit?unit=1&lesson=94
Courtesy of Mathworks, access to MATLAB Online is provided for the course participants for the duration of this course. Information for obtaining access to MATLAB Online is also provided in the "Course Overview... and Help Videos" section.
The course also has a discussion forum for students/participants to discuss technical questions related to the course material. Several students have already started using the forum. Myself and three TAs (teaching assistants) for this course are participating in this forum to answer your questions as best as we can.
Assignment for Module-2 will be uploaded next Monday (i.e., Jan 30th).
Wishing you all the best for this course. I hope you will enjoy learning MATLAB through this course.
With best regards
Niket Kaisare
