Pace, methodology and problem addressing.
doing tutorials ourself
As it was with the R programming workshop the ability to pause play the tutorial, and then use the live session or people present on the call to clear additional doubts was a tremendous help.
It is well managed according to time. I able to learn some new and good techniques to plant process by simulation.
The interactions with the faculty was really helpful and knowledgeable
Case study practice really helps to apply all learned knowledge.
Spoken tutorial based practice and assignments helped to make the software easy to understand. Question and answer sessions were great for clearing doubts.
Invited lectures
Spoken Tutorials along with the live sessions were the best.
The way workshop is conducted is really good also the content of this workshop is really informative and I understand it properly.
Practicing tutorials using case studies
Prof. Kannan interactios
I loved the Sessions taken by Prof Naren of SASTRA. He gave a broader view on the topics!
Priyam sir also responded promptly to our doubts on the forum.
Clearing all doubts raised by us
Spoken tutorials
Side by side method
Teaching method and materials provided
Live sessions
Compound creation tool in DWSIM
The lectures were good.
side by side approach for solving the problems
24. What aspect(s) about the workshop did you dislike the most?
Live sessions , which were little bit difficult to cope up.
outdated version of software in the video counters the problem
Speed maybe. I am a slow learner so I was often catching up in the night after the sessions were over.
Nothing
At some points due to network or some problems the voice got cut off and I didn’t get the topic well
The pacing for regression, python unit operation and compound creator tool sessions were fast and difficult to understand.
No help was there for a beginner. It would be good to give proper instruction initially so that beginners can catch up with spoken tutorials easily
No. The overall workshop is very good and informative.
None
None actually!
Sir include more case study problems.
No at all
I found the three days were jam-packed and would be better if it was a little bit longer.
Some technical issues
25. Cost benefit analysis of this workshop: please choose one

The answers get answered really fast.
It is easy to search previous questions if any and all answers are authentic.
Easy to use and questions can mostly be found.
It has answer of maximum questions. And team reply fast to the new questions.
The way the complete session of ST was just amazing since each & every point has been explained clearly, so how the slow learner he/she could be but will really gain a concept.
.
ST forum keep save the query of other people so we don't need to post our problem before checking forum because we might find it there.
Immediate response
quick response on forum
In spoken tutorials forum there are many questions regarding to various tutorials. If even one have any questions they can easily post it on forum and it is answered within hours.
The FOSSEE team actively answers our doubts on the forum.
ST forum is also an excellent place to delve deeper and get ones doubts cleared in DwSIM.
All types of doubts get cleared by team members
Doubts are Easy to search
Questions were answered rapidly.
Q&A for DWSIM
32. What aspect(s) of the ST Forum did you hate the most?
Need to increase graphics
Did not dislike any aspect of the forum.
There should have been an index to show different spoken tutorials so that we can choose from one instead of finding a question on that tutorial and then move forward to questions in that.
Nothing
spoken tutorial is not in the latest version and we were asked to download the latest version
some answers were vague
No. The Spoken Tutorial forum is overall good. Thank you!
We cannot upload pictures/ screenshots into ST forum.
screenshots will improve the convenience.
Sometimes they are time consuming
Readily available answers for the questions without thinking
General
33. We have provided you DWSIM Spoken Tutorials and many other learning materials in this workshop. What else is required for you to conduct a similar workshop in your institution by yourself? (Kindly respond using the scale given below, wherein 1 implies "Strongly Disagree", 2 implies "Disagree", 3 implies "Neither Disagree Nor Agree", 4 implies "Agree", and 5 implies "Strongly Agree".)34A. Check all the activities of the FOSSEE DWSIM team that you will be interested to participate in.

34B. If you have chosen "Any other" for the previous question, please explain
Interested in OpenFoam workshop
35. What would you want the DWSIM team to do next? (please choose all that is applicable).
|
36. In what way you can help promote the use of DWSIM?
I can help you in contacting my past college institute.
Promote use of DWSIM in my college for simulation work. As far as I am aware the college does not have a specific simulation software yet so being able to save the college money while using open source software would be how I could promote the use of DWSIM.
I would try to solve some plant processes by DWSIM and try to post it on FOSSEE DWSIM page like 194 students. Also I would like to tell my friends about this software.
I would suggest my college friends to use this software.
I'll really help my departmental students to learn DWSIM using the spoken tutorial sessions along with my experience of this workshop with Ur team
I will ask my colleagues to work with DWSIM and will do Flowsheeting Project
Ni
I will promote DWSIM in many industrial sectors to use of it. Because it is less time consuming and economical also. And easy to use and understand.
By arranging workshop at my college.
I'll tell about it to my friends in college and also will tell my faculty to use DWSIM as a learning partner for students.
By spreading message to our college or colleagues by sharing posters or messages
For chemical process simulation
By promoting the DWSIM at various stages of Chemical Engineering field
37. Any other overall suggestions for improvement or any other feedback
No, great experience to be a part of this workshop
Maybe increase the length of time of the workshop. Also increase the number of live sessions as we get to learn a lot more from them then previously presumed.
Overall this live session was good. I would like to see more of tutorials about DWSIM.
Compound creator tool and Data regression spoken tutorial must also be added to revise at any time.
The complete workshop was really helpful & knowledgeable .The complete FOSSEE team is just best ,they have supported from time to time with the all the doubts.If i had a doubt or want to promote it to my college i would really feel happy if any one of your team member to be a part of it.Thank you for holding this workshop & hope to have many more such workshops.
Initially help is needed for beginners
Please create Spoken tutorials on Compound Creation Tool, Data Regression and Simulation using CAPE-OPEN objects in DWSIM
No
No any suggestions. Thank you so much for your help and providing this workshop.
No
1. I felt that the workshop could be spanned over 5 days so that we would have more tutorials and more Case Studies.
2. The Property Table values for all Tutorials could be made available for our usage.
Excellent workshop on Process simulation
