The course was nicely designed. The suggestion is use of R-software for solving examples alongwith Minitab is useful for the learner.


The content of the course (Fiber Optics)and presentation by expert were excellent and easily understandable. Videos (Making  of optical fiber)and experiment included in the presentation were excellent. As a faculty for me such MOOCs are very important
