What do our students say?
The course was very well structured. A key feature I liked about the course was, Dr Gayatri ma’am explained each research paper with multiple examples and elaborated on each till we understood the topic. Ma’am also ensured our doubts were cleared and revised topics from the previous lecture in every lecture. Very good support from the physiosimplified team as well, they did restream the lectures we missed out on.
Simplification of complex topics and step-wise introduction of all important subjects were highly beneficial, especially for those who found topics confusing during their BPT.
Amazing course , great knowledge. The faculty explained everything in detail.
