7.   Which aspects of the course were most valuable?
The combination of theory and empirical were very useful. This was coupled by directions and suggestions provided by Prof. Karacaovali on futuren notable research endeavors in the field.
Prof.Karacaovali is very patient and nice. I took this class last year. It is notable that he unot only pdated most of the lecture notes in a different format, but put the most popular research in his lectures based on previous experiencs. He also writes down the important equations and conclusions on the board in an interesting way instead of only using PPT.


8.   Which aspects of the course were least valuable?
