Effective teaching with case study !! I enjoyed the experience overall!!
Good delivery of course material. Some went over my head (Taguchi method) but would require more practice in my own time. Great!
I believe the course itself is valuable. However, because most people doing a PhD will have designed experiments before (although in a different manner) i feel as though a significant amount of the things covered on the first day could be summarized and covered within a couple of hours rather than a whole day. Apart from that i believe the practicals are really fun and enjoyable
