Hi Andrew,
I
hope
everything
is
going
well.
It
feels
good
to
be
back
in
NZ
and
have
everything
wrapped
up with Weltec for the degree.
I
really
want
to
say
thank
you
for
connecting
me
with
Stefan
for
the
project
and
all
the
support,
teaching
and
advice
you've
offered
throughout
my
degree.
It's
been
a
fantastic
experience
and
really
had
a
large
impact
on
me.
I
feel
really
privileged.
If
you
did
want
to
meet
up
and have a bit of a debrief I'd be more than happy. I truly appreciate your help.
Kind Regards

Hi Andrew,
Appreciate
for
your
teaching!
I
learned
a
lot
from
your
teaching
from
computing
to
the
importance of accuracy and precision in engineer’s work.
At
the
beginning
of
this
course,
I
was
basically
a
“BABY-like
computer
guy”.
To
be
honesty,
I
was
using
the
google
drive
and
video
recording
for
the
first
time
of
my
life.
Now,
I
know
how
to
make the shared files in correct orders with right link.
You guided me through the entrance of computing and programming. Really appreciate that!
Thank you very much!

Hi Andrew,
Here's
my
Labview
project,
thank
you
very
much
for
teaching
me
this
semester,
it
has
certainly
been very different from usual!
Cheers

Hi Andrew,
Thanks
for
that,
spoke
to
the
Associate
Head
of
School
last
Monday
told
him
how
much
I
enjoyed
the
class
format,
as
in
the
multi-layered/multi-skilled/multi-themed
approach
to
learning
and
how
it
forced
me
to
work
through
problems
rather
than
learn
through
rote.
I
will
definitely
be
trying
to
adapt
my
learning
and
application
as
an
Engineer
to
anything
I
can
going
forward.
Again
thank you and have a good holiday.
Regards

I
also
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity
to
let
you
know
that
out
of
all
the
courses
I
did
at
WelTec,
yours
were
the
ones
I
enjoyed
and
engaged
with
most
-
by
a
long
shot.
I
appreciate
your
approach
to
education
and
you
do
it
right.
I
believe
all
engineering
courses
should
be
project
based
and
about
demonstrating
what
you
have
learnt
rather
than
what
you
can
remember.
Yours
captured
it
perfectly.
I've
even
wanted
to
do
your
embedded
systems
course
after
finishing
my
degree.
Cheers

Hello Andrew,
This
is
….
(I
omit
the
name
of
the
student
here)
from
the
computing
class.
I
decided
to
send
you email to say thank you.
I'm
really
glad
you
covered
the
special
relativity
in
the
course.
Sometimes,
I
felt
it
was
adding
extra
complexity
to
the
class,
but
it
was
intellectually
stimulating
and
I
quite
enjoyed
it.
My
motivation
for
studying
math
is
I
can
understand
complicated
physics
concepts
such
as
the
relativity,
Maxwell's
equations
and
etc.
So
I
can
understand
some
part
of
the
underlying
law
of
the
universe
which
could
be
permanent.
To
me
those
are
keys
to
change
assumptions
we
make
about
the
world.
Maybe
less
relevant
to
our
everyday
life,
but
it's
very
mentally
stimulating,
profound
and mind-boggling.
I
was
quite
intimidated
by
the
relativity
and
I
assumed
in
order
to
understand
it,
I
need
to
know
very
complicated
mathematical
concepts.
However,
by
learning
more
about
the
special
relativity
during
the
class
and
talking
to
you,
I
found
out
the
special
relativity
is
not
difficult
to
understand.
The
most
of
the
concepts
in
the
special
relativity
revolve
around
the
Lorentz
factor.
I
was
reading
more
about
the
special
relativity
a
month
ago,
and
I
was
quite
surprised
to
find
out
the
length
contraction
and
the
time
dilation
are
just
multiplication
and
division
of
the
Lorentz
factor. It's so simple, thanks to you, now I can remember the Lorentz factor from my memory.
I
hope
I
can
spare
some
time
to
study
some
concepts
of
the
general
relativity,
astrophysics
and
electro-magnetism
during
the
summer
break.
By
the
way,
before
I
started
studying
at
WelTec,
I
was
trying
to
teach
myself
vector
calculus,
so
I
can
understand
Maxwell's
equations.
Now
I
have
the
right
tools
which
I
learned
how
to
use
during
the
class,
I
hope
I
can
actually
understand
some
of those concepts.
I'm
also
grateful
that
assignments
in
your
class
need
to
be
submitted
with
video
presentations.
At
first,
I
didn't
like
it
because
I
didn't
have
any
idea
what
to
say
during
the
video
and
it
took
very
long
time
to
make
one.
In
fact,
it
took
more
time
to
make
video
than
completing
all
of
the
tasks
for
the
first
assignment.
However,
I
got
hang
of
it
gradually.
In
the
end,
making
a
video
presentation
for
the
final
assignment,
I
was
much
more
relaxed
and
I
knew
how
to
present
and
explain
what
I
did.
I
think
making
the
video
presentation
helped
me
to
improve
my
communication skills too.
Thank you so much Andrew!
Best Regards

Hi Andrew,
You
were
right.
The
final
exam
was
a
great
learning
experience.
Most
exams
are
more
a
"show
what you know" event.
It
was
tough,
but
also
very
rewarding.
Only
when
I
thought
about
plotting
y=x
then
y=2x
then
y=3x
and
what
was
happening
did
I
select
my
function.
I
must
say,
bloody
rewarding
seeing
the line spin in a similar manner as the video.
Of
all
the
papers
I
have
done
at
Weltec,
I
think
your
lecture
approach
has
pulled
more
effort
from
every
student,
and
obtained
the
best
results
and
created
achievements
for
the
students
to
be proud of.
Well done.
Talk to you soon

Hi Andrew,
How
are
you
doing?
This
has
been
a
long
time
coming.
I've
been
meaning
to
write
this
email
for a while now, as one of my favorite tutors at Weltec I wanted to let you know where I'm at.
In
February
I
applied
for
a
Mechatronics
and
Control
systems
engineering
role
at
a
small
company
called
Omeo
Technology
even
though
they
were
asking
for
someone
with
2+
years
experience.
My
first
interview
was
presenting
a
project,
which
was
my
final
year
project
my
autonomous
beach
trash
picker,
but
what
really
won
them
over
was
when
they
asked
me
to
create
a
display
on
a
computer
which
showed
what
the
machine
was
doing
in
real
time,
which
I
managed
to easily do with LabVIEW, all thanks to your classes.
Thanks
for
your
help.
If
it
wasn't
for
your
Instrumentation
and
Control
and
Engineering
Computing
classes
I
never
would
have
been
able
to
finish
my
final
year
project,
or
create
a
real
time display so easily, which means I probably wouldn't have got the job.
Cheers

I
learned
a
hang
of
a
lot
from
Andrew’s
computer
knowledge
and
I
considered
myself
already proficient with computing…
If
you
ever
are
in
the
situation
of
having
to
provide
remote
labs
again,
this
beats
watching
videos
and
filling
in
the
data
from
someone
else’s
recordings
hands-down.
As
a
kinaesthetic
learner and experimenter, I want to do it for myself.
All
in
all,
this
electrical
lab
turned
what
was
going
to
be
a
potentially
humdrum
academic
exercise
into
an
absorbing
and
interesting
hands
on
series
of
experiments.
It
really
turned
a
negative situation (lockdown) into a positive and interactive one. I recommend it.

Overall
I
found
the
course
to
be
very
informative…
It
also
allowed
me
to
be
more
flexible
around
my
work
day
since
I'm
also
doing
two
asset
management
papers
and
working
full
time
currently.
Previously
I
have
done
papers
by
travelling
up
to
Dunedin
and
it
essentially
used
up
2
afternoons,
nights
by
the
time
I
travelled
there
and
back.
This
time
could
have
been
spent
studying instead.
Thanks for your time and effort Andrew

…
I
thoroughly
enjoyed
the
course
and
have
gained
a
great
appreciation
for
programming.
I
wish you well for the future.
Thank you for your time and expertise

Hi Andrew!
I've
been
meaning
to
say
thank
you
for
teaching
and
mentoring
me
during
my
time
at
WelTec.
You're
easily
the
best
teacher
there,
and
your
classes
left
a
big
impression
on
me.
I
often
think
of
pieces
of
wisdom
and
insights
you
shared.
You
always
made
the
classes
interesting
with
your
enthusiasm
for
the
topics,
and
made
science/engineering
exciting
by
challenging
the
status
quo
and
talking
about
how
much
there
still
is
to
explore.
I
was
lucky
to
have
you
for
so
many
of
my classes. Thank you!
Hope you are well. It would be great to hear from you and maybe catch up
sometime soon.
Cheers

These
web
browser
extensions
are
so
cool,
I
always
wanted
to
know
and
find
out
how
to
better
guard
at
least,
my
personal
information
online.
And
wow,
I
knew
I
was
missing
a
lot
of
knowledge
but
this
just
opened
my
mind.
This
is
so
cool
and
handy
to
know,
Thanks
for
the
Basics
of Browsing the Internet video.
Appreciate it

Kia ora,
Thank
you
so
much
Andrew.
I
appreciated
all
your
help
and
the
way
you
teach
your
course.
I
will keep your life lessons in mind and aim to be more confident for my future.
