  • Prof can not teach. Why do I need to know how lenses work?

  • This course had very little structure and was overly complicated

  • This course can essentially be summed up as follows: a review of waves and optics, and a portion proceeding through the various components and limitations of materials characterization equipment such as an SEM, TEM, and Raman and IR spectroscopies. Throughout the term I had a nagging feeling that we were not following the course description and that the prof was teaching a slightly different, yet still moderately useful, course. Everything is out of 100 marks.
