The course is well structured. it would have been much better if there was more zemax design model in the weekly quiz.

Good lectures and presentations in this course. A sound and systematic basis for the next courses to follow.

Clear conceptual explanation of optical design concepts. Very helpful forf understanding ZEMAX operation.

This course covers the basic and gives an introduction good design tools. It is a challenging course

This is a good course for those people wanting to start their learning in optical system design.

Instructor explains the basics of optics very well. Practical example exrecise are very good

Very helpful. Material is good. Professor explains the topics very nicely.

It was great experience to learn zemax

Nice Coarse to get started with.

Matlab skills are learned.

This course is good

Excellent course

excellent

Generally good, but some things should be described more detailly. For example, sign convention should be explained better, especially for mirrors. And in some tests the questions appear that were not discussed in the lectures, such as microscope, and it's necessary just to use some formula without deep understanding in this case. But as a whole the course content is interesting and really seems to provide a set of powerful optical design tools.

I got to learn about ray optics and all the basic mathematical tools needed for an optical system design. Also got a hands on experience with Zemax OpticStudio. The assignments and homework problems are really good. But the best part is the capstone project at the end.

Great course, but the tool (Demo version Zemax) is not very useful because of the removal of several important features (e.g. save, undo and limited precision).

Really valuable introduction to optical design, I learned a lot! It takes dedication though, but it's totally worth it.

Excellent content and instruction. Difficult to get feedback on problems with software and quiz answer input.

Great content and teacher.

The course evaluation needs some debugging and problems should be better explained.

Good course, beginning is a bit too elementary but later part is very educative.

it is little advance and in my view not well explained

Challenging and good!

ok. a bit easy

It gives a decent overview of optics. I did have former college courses that introduced me to optics, but there isn't enough practice material here. It seemed to just give the raw skeleton. I understand it's up to the student to learn and not to give us step by step guides to every question. But at least give us several optional practice problems with maybe a numerical solution so we can practice and figure out on our own.

Contents are good and the lecturer presents them in a clear way. Nevertheless, there is no response from the professors on the forum and the automatic grader doesn't work very well (it might give you a wrong answer just from rounding up). Solutions to the exercises should be provided at least once the quizzes are approved with 50%.
