Elements of Quantum Optics I:
Students' feedback
7. Fachsemester / 4th year

(Feedback translated from an anonymous evaluation poll.)

Average grades:

(scores between -3 and +3)

I liked...

• that there exists an exercise session
• the broad spectrum of transferred knowledge
• teacher is always able to answer questions
• flexible teacher, explains well
• has always time to answer questions, also outside the classroom
• large amount of material compressed and clearly presented
• the courage of the teacher to deliver the lecture in English (excellent training for the students)
• a large part of standard textbook material covered in two hours per week
• relation to current research results and methods is visible, in particular in the exercises
• the themes, the structure, the approach, and the typed notes that were continuously distributed
• not to have the feeling to annoy even when one asks stupid questions
• good training of English technical vocabulary

I did not like...

• exercises too high standard, sometimes in advance of the lecture
• blackboard writing could be larger (sometimes)
• sur-human amount of exercises
• 3 hours lecture and 1 hour exercises would be better
• weak synchronism between lecture and exercises
• very hard problem sheets
