|      7|   1|Great energy from the teacher! It did feel though that the course could be split between pure Python basics and what is the correct way to set up and use it in the HPC cluster. Maybe that is in fact the case, but it was not clear to me. Giving the option to sign up to only specific days after checkign the content of each one could be an idea for better organization.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
|      7|   1|Very useful lesson, it was a bit difficult at the beginning to log into the cluster, but then I could follow up easily because the website is well done                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
|      7|   1|I really liked the setup of the lectures, going through the exercises in breakout rooms was very helpful and I learned a lot from the other people on the course. Thank you for a great course!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |

|      7|   1|Great course, I love the energy which was really motivating and helped maintaining morale and interest. I liked the exercises, I liked that you direct us to the book and gets us used to 'googling' it rather than you presenting, great idea to make study groups, and have someone to bounce ideas with. I would recommend this to anyone that is interested in learning Python.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |

|      7|   1|I was uncertain what is an interpreter, which interpreter to use, what did it mean, and how you would run python and the file you wanted.  I 'm still not sure btw. In my mind I was thinking 'Pytorch', 'Notepad++'. So what's the difference with a text editor?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |

Maybe add this as a note somewhere?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |

|      7|   1|I was NOT getting what's the point of sys.argv even after reading the documentation, asking Copilot the following: 'The list of command line arguments passed to a Python script. argv[0] is the script name (it is operating system dependent whether this is a full pathname or not). If the command was executed using the -c command line option to the interpreter, argv[0] is set to the string '-c'. If no script name was passed to the Python interpreter, argv[0] is the empty string.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |

I also really appreciated how supportive all of the teachers were, the classes had a very nice atmosphere.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |

|      7|   2|For the matplotlib part: to improve more demonstrations rather than read so quickly the content to accomplish the schedule. Improve the depth of the course not too superficial to at least catch some key points that helps to start.  The morning session had better demo and I could follow the steps.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |

There are instructions for each cluster, so maybe the topics should be more generic with access to the specific info as needed. The IDE section, for example, could only show how to do it to very specific cases, while having the cluster instructions and a generic discussion about the options could be better.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |

|      7|   2|(did not attend Matplotlib part) 1. Overall the reading/presentation material was good to very good, just too far between exercises - as soon as one step has been explained, I want to test it and make sure I can do it! But some information was outdated and some part or parts had lots of spelling errors.  2. Again and again, there was not enough time margins within each session. Asking us to do stuff on the breaks is BAD. Breaks are needed for food, toilet and looking away from the screen. Can't learn anything if we don't get breaks.  3. Lunch break start and end time needs to be confirmed before 12:00. For those of us caught up in listening and following along it got cut much too short today.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |

|      7|   3|I think I would really like to have a bit more a hands-on experience on this. Also, a big caveat in using all these is understanding the documentation/jargon. It would be useful to have that as part of this. As in any other language, you 'd need to refer to the documentation, so it would be good to know how to navigate it. The session where we were typing along was excellent! Very nicely paced, and the message was clear. Also tied together things we worked on last week. Maybe it would be useful to start with a type-along exercise so as people follow an exact example, and then build on that to discuss details. e.g. input + analysis + graph (then discuss types of input, types of analysis and functions, types of graph)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |

|      7|   3|This course is HPC environments and Python data science tools mixed up into one (with a starting day of HPC access and Python coding basics) and it's too chaotic for good learning, in my not so humble opinion. There are better Python courses elsewhere, without HPC complications - this course might be better with a focus on all the HPC intricacies.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |

Also, could you please post the recordings a bit faster next time. I saw in the Q/A document that Brigitta lost the recordings for the first day so I am happy that Ricel at least posted them! Would be better to have them in the same youtube list as the rest though                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |

It was hard to see the point of the Machine Learning part and how it should be done or work in the HPC. It was really good to see the final presentation on Dimensionality reduction with examples from someone else, could maybe be done for other topics to introduce us to them with maybe a more dedicated course.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
|      7|   4|We learn that which we end up doing. Today, in the multiprocessing part, the examples were not working and I did not learn Python multiprocessing - instead I learned a few more things about the module system and had continued failures with Python venvs. On the other hand, in the section on GPUs, the examples were working and I learned very little about using GPUs, but I did learn a few things about SLURM and using Snowy. In order to learn I guess we should have incomplete example code that requires us to type in the crucial parts that we need to be learning. It is nice to do this interspersed in the lecture, for really short/safe bits in the main room and for larger pieces where more discussion results in breakout rooms. Now it seems that we have a couple days worth of exercises still to do, but all the teachers and co-learners are not there anymore. This is not fun. I might add that it is stressful trying to get both a cup of tea and a bathroom break into 15 minutes and there is ZERO margin for overtime when the breaks are that short. Please plan your sessions with more time margins, so that discussions can be had and breaks be accomplished and perhaps even catching up when something did not work right could be possible. Far too often we ended up with no time for exercises - maybe some exercises for later is a good idea, but should in that case be clearly marked as such and the examples that are in the material we really should be able to get hands on with in every session. Right now it seems like I need to go back to almost every session from this course for some reason or the other. Finally, I note that Richel from the first day and Anders from the very end are the two teachers that seemed happy about and interested in the topics that they were teaching. That helps a lot, so that is the right teachers at the right parts. |

|      8|   2|Because each hpc has different setup it is a bit uninteresting to walk through them alla when I'm only concerned with the one I'm using                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |

It is hard to do the excersices because environments etc. has to be set, so I will have to go back later to finish.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
|      8|   3|The first half of today’s training covered important material, but I personally found the delivery less engaging. It felt more like a reading of the manual, and I didn’t gain much from it. Demonstrating everything with actual code and a more hands-on approach would be essential to better understand the core concepts. The second half of the training, however, was satisfactory.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |

I liked this and that the exercises were part of the teaching, not meant to do during breaks, then you would never get breaks. I and some other seemed to be lost already at ondemand, and interactive work. So maybe you should make that session more interactive. Then it would have been easier to follow the other sessions after that.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |

I really appreciated that he provided the Python textbook, which was very helpful for learning more and completing the exercises.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |

|      9|   2|Day 2 was much more disorganised and less pedagogical than day 1. I would recommend either a) keep the course a 4-day course and remove content from Day 2, or b) keep the amount of content in the course but spread it over 5 days instead of 4 days. There were times when there was not enough time to do exercises or lectures dragged on into breaks.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |

Partially because of that after ca exercise 4 I got lost. Starting IDE and particularly Jupiter part was completely messed for me, I simply did not get it to work :(  Would like to have more time for practical moments and consultation with teacher(s).

|      9|   2|I think the morning session about packages, installing packages, and environments was important. However, all the interaction with the HPC (sending jobs, Slurm, interactive work...) could have been a pre-course assignment because it is different for every server (and not Python at all). I think all that time could have been better spent properly explaining IDEs, how to set them up, and how to use Python with them. Also, the material seems to need an update according to the specific servers being used.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |

I liked the intro to the batch system and how to submit a job, this was very important for how I will run my python codes, but maybe it is different if you are someone who likes only use graphics/IDEs.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |

|      9|   3|Today (day3), the topics were more of what I expected from an Introduction to Python and Using Python in an HPC environment course. The morning session about pandas, matplotlib and seaborn was interesting, as well as the big data with python. I will probably use Dask in the future so it was a good explanation of how Dask works. I still don't understand the time spent talking about bash and sending jobs. We could use that time learning and using common python packages in an HPC cluster.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |

Also, we need more hands-ons and demonstrations.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |

|      9|   3|I think there is very little material on the pandas/matplotlib/seaborn part and would like there to be more so I can redo it later myself. This just tells you were to go look for the info and that could be put in a box at the bottom. I am not fond of the way Richel teaches (sorry - he is very nice). I prefer to have more theory and material to read and then also show some demos. Maybe if there was more time for this course. I really think you should have it a full week.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |

|      9|   4|Remove day 4 from the course and insert it into an intermediate or advanced "Python in an HPC environment" course. The course attendees need more time to practice the skills learned during days 1-3 instead.  Pedro's teaching style was good, slow and methodical, and thereby easy to follow. The only thing I would ask Pedro to do is speak up a bit more or change his microphone settings, as it was hard to hear what he was saying.  Jayant's sections need shorter lectures with less content in each and exercises more often in between. Overall, while I think that the course has some good parts and some teachers were very good and pedagogical, the course still goes too fast for the most part, assumes that attendees know more prerequisites than they actually need in order to attend, and several of the teachers need to improve their teaching skills. If these issues are fixed, the course would, in my opinion, be very much improved.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
|      9|   4|Generally very good. For me personally, the content and exercises related to interaction with the cluster were of more interest than the pure python parts. Improvement, just the point I made above about allowing a bit more time to setup the examples (venvs, module loading, checking compatibility etc). Organisation was great, I signed up late (past the deadline) and was still added to the project so better than I could reasonably expect. Teachers were all good, although Richèl stood out (positively).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |

Exercises on-the-go (5-, 10-minutes) in the middle of the lectures are a bit stressful: it would be better for learning to discuss in the break out rooms with peers as was done on previous days.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
|      9|   4|I think the course has potential, but it could benefit from more interaction with the students. In a Zoom course, it is difficult to stay focused listening to the same person for more than 10–15 minutes (let alone 45–60, as in some sessions), especially if the instructor is basically reading from the course material.  Another suggestion would be to create connected exercises instead of just running scripts. The lectures could be divided into small exercises all related to the same script (where, in every exercise, the students add a new block of code). Then, the final exercise would involve running the whole script using all the concepts from that section and previous ones.  Finally, I would suggest removing the section on how to connect to the HPC clusters. Since this is a course about Python and Python in HPC clusters, connecting to the cluster should be a prerequisite; alternatively, it could be sent as a pre-course exercise before the program starts. The course should remain focused on Python and its application within HPC clusters.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
|      9|   4|The course jumps pretty quickly from basic Python on day one to advanced machine learning by the last day. It can work well for beginners at the start, and more experienced people will likely get the most out of the final day                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
|      9|   4|I didn't fill the other evaluations and day4 i watched as videos so i will comment for all days here: Pedro has some amazing material and is a great lecturer but i am not intrested in parallel programming. Bjorn was mostly ok but maybe a bit fast (packages). Rachel should have more advanced material, we are smarter than he thinks. Brigitte i didn't get through the sessions as batch is not intresting but i need it until you install ondemand everywhere. Also the day4 recordings was not up until sunday!!!!!
