The online textbook is really well structured. Many courses at the TU are difficult not because of the content, but because of the way the teachers set up the Brightspace page. That wasn’t an issue at all in MUDE, thanks for that!

I could appreciate the quiz questions in some chapters, and wished that every chapter could include them. They provide an effective way to see if I was understanding the material.

I really like the book, it is easy to access and well-structured. I would like it even more if I could have my own personalized version that allowed me to take notes and review the material prior to the exam!

I can use the online textbook to run the code online and adjust the parameters, which can give me a more intuitive feeling of the code.

I have difficulty with reading textbooks that only include written words. The MUDE online textbook provided a lot of interactive visuals that you don’t get with a traditional textbook. Especially figures with sliders were a perfect way to describe how mathematical systems work. If I had to add to that I would include even more interactive figures that make complex mathematical formulations more clear! (I enjoyed this way of formatting, so the more the merry-er 😉 )

I find it very helpful during the FEM week, the provided widgets of shape function really helped me understand it.

It is much easier to browse through an online textbook instead of having to search through a normal textbook, the latter takes way more time.

Sometimes when I learn something from other courses that involves coding, I don’t try it myself because I don’t want to spend the time to start up anaconda and jupyter lab and create a new notebook file. With the textbook I can immediately test things using the interactive python button on the webpage.
