- Det enda jag fick med mig från föreläsningarna var anteckningar som jag inte litade på eftersom jag inte kan tolka din handstil. Så jag använde inte anteckningarna i mitt studerande och ppt bilderna var för kortfattade.» (Not useful)
- Föreläsningsanteckningarna blir helt värdelösa pga att du skriver i "sloppy notation". Mer förklarande text önskas, och sudda inte i det du redan skrivit! » (Below average)
- I found the lectures confusing, partly because it was quite hard to see what was written on the blackboard. Actually slides might have been preferable.» (Below average)
- Some calculational examples would have been nice and given a better understanding.» (Average)
- Jag är förmodligen den född som gillar powerpoint presentationer så jag hade gärna sett dem på föreläsningarna. det blir mer tid till förklaringar och mindre tid till att skriva på tavlan. annars är det bland de bästa föreläsningar jag haft.» (Very Useful)
- Stellan is a great lecturer!» (Very Useful)

- Bra att de fanns på hemsidan» (Average)
- Ling är väldigt bra, noggrann och effectiv» (Very useful)
- There should have been more problem sessions. It is too bad that some of them were cancelled and used as lectures instead.» (Very useful)

- Very much of this time is spent on assignments.» (Around 25 hours/week)
- Det är inte hållbart att behöva lägga ner i princip all tid i veckan på inlämningsuppgifter. Det blir ohållbart!» (At least 35 hours/week)
- This is way too much. When the problems are so time consuming, there is no time left to sit with other problems or the text book in order to get a better understanding. I think that this course would be better with either fewer or less extensive problems.» (At least 35 hours/week)

- Tycker inte att Sakurai var en bra bok.» (Small extent)
- The book is almost ok, but there was no time left to read it properly.» (Some extent)
- I förhållande till föreläsningarna var kursboken bra, men det säger egentligen mer om föreläsningarna än om kursboken. Sakurai var riktigt tungrodd.» (Large extent)

- Det är svårt att fråga Stellan om grundläggande saker, eftersom han då svarar på något helt annat och får en att verka dum. Ling var mycket tillmötesgående.» (Rather poor)

- though probably very much dependent on the previous knowledge of QM» (Adequate)
- Hard course to grasp.» (High)
- Detta är alvarligt och bör ses över till nästa år!» (Too high)
- Having hand-in problems that take 15-20 hours to complete every week is too much. I think it would be possible to remove some of the problems and have only 1-3 problems per set, and still cover most of the course material. » (Too high)
- Read previous comments...» (Too high)
- Otroligt tidskrävande» (Too high)

- i did only this coarse.» (?)
- Very nearly too high. Home assignments take such a lot of time.» (High)
- På grund av den här kursen hann jag nästan inte med den andra kursen alls, vilket blev påtagligt på den tentan.» (Too high)
- The other course I took had a reasonable workload, but together with this course it became too much.» (Too high)
- I took three courses, so I gotta blame myself :p» (Too high)
- Thanks to a relatively easy course during the same period, the total workload was just high. If there would have been two courses like this one simultaneously, it would have been impossible.» (Too high)

- Se andra kommentarer.» (Poor)
- Fulständigt ointressant kurs som inte kommer att någon användning av i mitt arbete» (Poor)
- I think that the focus in the course is too much on doing calculations and too little on understanding them. Mostly the course covers physics that I have seen before, but expresses it in a mathematical language that is new to me. Explaining more clearly what the mathematical concepts stand for and drawing parallels to how it is treated in previous courses in quantum mechanics could help. This does not mean that explaining the physics is irrelevant, however, some things were really totally new to me.» (Adequate)
- Interesting subject» (Good)
- Stellan can be less sloppy at the black/white board. And at making exams/homework.» (Good)
- I learnt a lot.» (Excellent)
- The best course I"ve taken.» (Excellent)

16. What should be preserved to next year?

- The course literature.»
- The homeworks, thou with a few less tyops would be nice.»
- räkneövningarna»
- Using the black board instead of power point»
- The lectures, they were great.»
- The amount of homework and how big a part of the grade it is. Blackboard-writing lectures. Sakurai »
- Ling!»
- Making handouts available on the web page is a good thing, just as having quite a lot of problem solving sessions.»
- Pretty much everything.»
- Everything, except that which is noted below.»
- Ling is very good»
- Ling and Stellan»
- Everything was fine, and it should be preserved. »

17. What should be changed to next year?

- The hand-in problems covered most of the topics of the course and required a substatial amount of time to work out. The extra load of problems for the problem sessions might therefore have been percieved as excess work with less relevance to the final exam.»
- Initially more time should be spend on the Mathematics and confusing notation »
- Writing on the thesis is not nice on the exam. Would be nicer to have it in the standard form where answers and solutions are on separate papers.»
- inlämningsuppgifterna på ett område kommer ibland före räkneövningen på samma område»
- more lectures»
- The homework exercises should be read by somebody (the problem demonstrator perhaps) and corrected.»
- The format for the exam. Having to copy results from loose papers to a fixed space takes quite a bit of energy and time. Better proofreading for the homework problems would be nice, we lost quite a bit of time sorting through errors.»
- Färre inlämningsuppgifter, bättre förklaringar på lektionerna, bättre taveldisposition.»
- Try to ease the workload by reducing the number of problem sets or the number of problems in each set. I also think it would be a good idea to emphasize the understanding of the physics behind the equations. »
- Better proofreading of problem sets, more attention to detail.»
- It would be nice with a little less "mathematical focus" and a little more physics. Just a little...»
- The home assignments and the exam where full of misstakes. Often I/we where forced to guess as to how to interpret the questions. Do try to do a better job reading and correcting mistakes!»
- I would like a better text on rotations. Large part of sakurai were very confusing (late part of chapter 3)»
- Go through the Bracket notation more in the beginning. Compare examples in the dirac notation with examples in the usual notation that we are familiar with. Would increase the understanding.»
- Some more OH- lectures does not hurt. As I understand we did not go through all stuff.»
- One needs to spend more time on the perturbation theory, also variational methods could be included to some extent.»
- If possible, more practical examples of uses of the theory.»

18. Please provide any additional comments

If you have opinions on it, comment on this course evaluation.

- i become more confident towards myself in physics and matematik.»
- I have to say that I quite enjoyed the exam. Good problems - difficult, but not overwhelmingly so, just so that you had to think, so that you had to use up all the available time, while still having enough time to treat all the problems.»
- Very good course!»
- Maybe one should be encouraged to read some introduction the summer before as the speed is high from day one.»
- Detta har varit den mest tidskrävande och svåra kurs jag har gjort under min utbildning. »
- The course is very large and it provides a student with great deal of tools for dealing with various problems. Maybe one would need more time to spend on it. However, a good thing is that there is Advanced Quantum Mechanics course for those who are interested in it.»
- Ling Bao was great!»
