- One of the goals is to attain "competence to be able to identify suitable detector types depending on which radiation type and physical parameters to be studied" which I think was treated in the course, but I felt that I lacked a gut feeling about the cost magnitudes of different detector types (which I felt mostly during the oral exam). It is often stated for the different detector types that they are "expensive" or "cheap", but the magnitudes were unclear to me at least. Maybe some cost examples of real detector installations would have given me more intuition on the subject.» (The goals clearly describe what I am supposed to learn)

- I bought the book, but mostly I used the internet (Wikipedia in particular) for information, which I believe worked quite well. A side effect is that I read a lot about related info not explicitly included in the course, but I guess that isn"t bad either :-) In practice I think I only used the book for clarification on some parts regarding scintillators, but it can be noted that much information on the related subjects on Wikipedia uses Leo as a source, and thus almost exactly the same information is often available there. It doesn"t make the book bad, but in some cases perhaps superfluous. In an ideal world it could also have been more moderately priced: it cost 665:- @ Cremona (789:- (!) @ Adlibris) which in retrospect feels quite expensive.» (Great extent)

- The material for the ROOT hand-in problems could be clearer. There are some annoying things that stole a couple of hours from my work. I will give a detailed summary of these to Thomas later this summer.» (Rather well)

- I took three 7.5p courses (String theory, Beyond the Standard Model and this one) this period so at times it was hectic, but if so it was my own "fault" for taking an extra course. The deadlines and such for this course was quite loose, allowing one to choose when to do the work, and as such the work didn"t pile up which makes it easier to plan (and thus also easier to postpone stuff...). As such the course was appropriate to combine with other courses.» (Adequate)
- The course at Radio and Space science was huge. Although there was no deadline for the handin problems in this course the natural time for doing them was around week 6 or 7. Week 6 and 7 was very busy in the other course, so it was a bit tough those weeks.» (High)

- I felt that I learned a lot about the relevant subjects. This was the most practical course I have taken during my masters time after following the theoretical track and I found that it in a good way gave a connection between theory and practical results. The trip to GSI was nice, and this year I think the students who also went to CERN got a lot out of the course. This opportunity probably won"t be available every year for cost reasons, which is a bit sad. Personally I actually think the CERN trip fitted just as well (and probably even better) with this course than with the Advanced Subatomic Physics course which was the one that organized the trip, but I"m not complaining :-)» (Excellent)
