- BB 627 : Medical Imaging methods
- BB 704 : Diffuse Optical Imaging
- BB 655 : Introduction to Biomedical Optics
- BB 653 : Experimental techniques in Biomedical Engineering : medical electronics module.
First course in my career : Medical imaging .
- Very good knowledge and makes things easy for understanding. Talks in very humble manner.
- More and more latest techniques could be shared in the class. Mathematical viewing of concepts was good.
- He is cool. i seriously like it. sir please provide some tutorials to biology background people before staring of course it will be very helpful for them.
- excellent teaching; took a lot of effort in making us understand some very difficult stuff
- The overall course was just right. Introduction to various techniques without delving too much into the details. Connecting the dots between the various techniques was especially great
- The way he linked the various imaging methods and brought about a common thread between the various imaging modalities
- All the methods are actually pretty tough for a newbie- so it was good that the course did not rush too much. However, need more examples to understand more details of the course.
Feedbacks for last 6 years (2016 to 2022)
- Curriculum should include little background about the imaging modalities being taught before starting the mathematical part. For example, diffraction imaging is used for what purpose and tissue properties being exploited in imaging as it will give more clarity on mathematics part. More examples should be given.
- Very responsible and actually puts in much effort to make sure all the students understand the topics. Goes at just the correct pace so that students from various background understands each and every topic. The approach taken is unique and makes the learning process fun and enjoyable. Explains and relates the theoretical, mathematical and physical phenomenon pretty well.
- Topics should include a hint of the current direction of research in medical imaging and a lab session as well. For example how to compute an impulse response of a simple system like a camera.
- Prof. Hari Verma teaches in an extremely poor way. He himself gets confused by students’ questions. He is also not interested in students learning. He never took any lecture for students who had never studied this course. He used to teach only with few students in consideration. In entire lectures, he was busy in deriving the formulas without any proper example of that topic. On the contrary, he asked practical questions in exams.
- All the course contents were boring. There were too much of maths rather than practical explanations.
- teacher was very much interested in strengthening the basics which is very nice. The construction of the course so that the students can take back a tomography framework with them is encouraging and makes us believe that any tomography modality can be learnt easily.
- His teaching style was really good. But,sometimes he covers topics very hurriedly and we did not understand few topics well. He gave assignment on Image reconstruction in MATLAB. He showed how program runs and how images look but he did not tell the meaning of codes and how to implement formulas , fourier transform in the MATLAB.
- The good part is he is friendly and hence I never hesitated asking doubts but sometimes he sounds confused and feels as if he is trying to teach himself. The clarity was missing.
- This subject is no doubt gives a wholesome idea of what’s going on beyond the bio part in Bioscience world. But, I feel the teaching has to be more integrated, we had to self study a lot to catch up even the basic things. The Professor teaches with great effort.
- The most interesting part was CT, I had know idea how many things had to play to construct just one image of CT.
- It would be better if the lectures were an hour long, one and a half hour sometimes becomes too boring and since the lecture is just after lunch students tend to sleep in the class.
- i don`t know where a topic is starting and where it is ending. kindly use the same variable notations throughout the course.
UG course: Biomedical Engineering
- Very well delivered course, enjoyed learning. The course was not exam oriented like most of the other courses. Very well designed course and it increased my interest in learning.
- It would have been more helpful if we had more time since a lot of information was given to us over a very short period and it made a few concepts hard to process and understand.
- the content seemed too heavy, the organisation of slide content could have been better
- Nothing worth mentioning.
- Hari sir speaks in a very dull if not boring voice. It would be more engaging if he spoke in a much more lively and animated voice
- It was great learning from prof.
- I liked the application of math and physics in biology, of which this course provided an excellent application.
- This course is simply fantastic! Motivation to the topics is well explained and the subject is developed with a good mixture of maths and physics. I really enjoyed this course!
- Liked the professor’s way of teaching and evaluation. Instead of focusing on evaluation, he focused on learning. Lot of practical knowledge was taught which will be helpful in further courses as well. Explanation was done through images, videos and experiments which was very beneficial in learning and very interesting. This was the best module of BB101 course.
- too much of haywired information. Was a bit confusing at times
- The course material had a lot of complicated concepts from the topic of Fourier analysis in CT and MRI scans onwards and those were difficult to understand in such a short time. Regardless, applications of engineering principles in medical imaging was very interesting to earn about.
- Like: The way it combines electromechanical devices with Biology\015\012Dislike: Hari sir’s voice is sleep inducing and you only get one crack at the quiz
- Focus on learning rather than assessments was a good thing.
