General Comments
* The workshop has created an interest in learning Python even more.
* Can reduce the pace little bit.
* I really admired the way of teaching.
* Try to understand the standard of education and proceed. Some may not follow.
* -NIL-
* Try to understand our standard of education we have.
* All sessions that we had for past two days is very useful and effective in solving techniques of mine. Please continue this good job for more like me.
* For me it is exposure to the Software Field as an oss
* Got an exposure to a new language. Hoping it'll be helpful in future.
* Learnt something new, especially for a non-computer student like me it was fascinating to see smaller codes unlike C++ and Java!
* Liked the entire session. Learning like this is very effective(ppt , practical doing). Awaiting for more such interesting workshops.
* I feel two days of workshop is not sufficient to gain such knowledge but it improves our interest.
* We wish this methodology of instruction could be implemented in everyday teaching + learning.
* Good.
* Knowing python basics was very much useful and can be applicable easily in future programming.
* Give more chocolates.
* Could have started with basics and then gone for plotting.
* I will like to apply it for my physics applications and will get to you for feedback.
* It was great fun. Finally got some work to excite my neurons. I guess I should thank Mr Asokan and his team! All the best!! keep it going.
* The response given and the way of teaching is very nice.
* A nice initiative and informative.
* Very useful. I did know python before, but now I think I have learnt some basics and I am confident wit Python now.
* loooong sessions.
* Really worth to attend this. Hope this happens in future for juniors too.
* Interesting and Informative.
* Useful to learn. It's good.
