- The mathematics in the home problems took a lot of time from studying the main physics of the course. » (Around 30 hours/week)
- the course is very huge» (Around 30 hours/week)
- especially homework» (Around 30 hours/week)
- The hand-ins take all remaining hours of the week. » (At least 35 hours/week)

- The home problems in particular took time.» (At least 35 hours/week)
- The course is quite excellent and in order to get a deep inside in the topics, you need to devote so much time in the concepts and home-works, and dedicated more than 35 hours/week because I really like the subject, for the academic formation it is an excellent course» (At least 35 hours/week)

Goals and goal fulfilment

The course syllabus states the course goals in terms of learning outcomes, i.e., knowledge, skills and attitudes to be acquired by the student during the course.

- The problem is that at the end of the course some lectures were added, and not even covered.» (The goals give some guidance, but could be clearer)
- I actually don"t remember very well, but I think it was quite clear.» (The goals clearly describe what I am supposed to learn)

4. Are the goals reasonable considering your background and the number of credits?

Answer this this question and the succeeding one, only if you do know the course goals.

5. Did the examination assess whether you have reached the goals?

15 svarande

No, not at all» 2 13%

To some extent» 2 13%

Yes, definitely» 5 33%

I don"t know/have not been examined yet» 6 40%

Genomsnitt: 3

- I think the course must be evaluated by both written and oral way. Written exam does not assess your knowledge, whereas the combination of both could give a better criterion to evaluate the quality of the new acquired knowledge. I addition the course would be a starting point for a good school in Theoretical Physics, neither Chalmers nor GU have a course in Many-body Physics, Magnetism and Mesoscopic Physics and their application in Nanotechnology. » (No, not at all)
- Some questions were a little bit confusing.» (To some extent)
- I think even with the allowed material to bring one had to have a good understanding of the course goals.» (Yes, definitely)

- Most was covered in the class, and the lecture notes.» (Small extent)

Genomsnitt: 4.26

- Both due to Vitaly and Jens.» (Excellent)
- It is an excellent course, I think more than this kind of courses must be given at Chalmers: Mesoscopic Physics, Many-Body physics, Advanced Condensed Matter Physics, obviously it depends on the focus of each program, but at least in Theoretical Condensed Matter and Nanoscience and Technology these courses will improve the academic level» (Excellent)

14. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- no more comment just keep it up !!»
- Jens recitations are great. He is very pedagogic.»
- In lecture notes it should be more explanation in some parts.»
- the recitation session was very good and helpful. the availability of lecture notes before the lecture was also great advantage.»
- The course is nice and the teaching and recitation is very good.»
- The lecture notes, they were very good.»
- Recitations, Jens does a very good job and is also very helpful when we had problems with the HPs. Vitaly is also a very good lecturer and his knowledge of the field makes it easier to transmit the main messages to us.»
- If possible, person like Jens to keep the tutorial class going.»
- course goal»
- The tight connection between lectures and the study material»
- Lectures Notes The quality of the Recitation, I think here is the precise moment to give a strong congratulation to Jens Michelsen, he really did an excellent job in the recitation, he was very clear, respectful, helpful and responsible for the charge of the recitation, his lectures were excellent, he was very kind to ask question, open-minded and extremely educated person, I really enjoy to work with this kind of scientific and human crew. »
- Vitaly, Jens, homework, course compendium»

15. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- I think, next year the student should choose only statistical physics for the fourth quarter not more. »
- the work load of home problems was a little high.»
- I recommond to reduce the material or increase the time of the course (from Febraury to June)»
- The course should not be compulsory for MPNAN. The lecture notes should not be changed during the period, they should cover what is meant to be covered since the beginning.»
- Change the home problems from being only mathematical exercise.»
- decrease home problems number in each set.»
- Maybe a little more guidelines in the recitation on how to attack the home problems (what can be approximated, what is considered known etc).»
- I think, the lectures notes must include a section in recent applications of the concepts (Quantum qbits and Two-Level systems could be a nice example, also it could be a "good commercial" to inform students about the research at the Department)»

16. Additional comments

- I"m happy that I took this course. Good job!»
- The course assistant in statistical physics is perfect. I think he is the bes choice for this course to be assistant.»
- I recommond the decraesing of the number of lectures per week to two instead of three.»
- the exam is so close if it possible tow weeks after. »
- Good course, good commitment from teachers. Thanks!»
- Heavy course but I do not think there is any reason to change anything.»
- though quite abstract and hard to understand at times, i really enjoyed the course. I have to say i had no time to look at any reference book suggested, which is also hard to get in the library, so I tried to take good notes in class and study on the lecture notes. Maybe it"s possible to copy some material and distribute it (aside from that on BE).»
