It is very good course and good examples to solve. Thank you for providing this

Thanks for giving me a great opportunity to learn best optics lecture ever !

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

A useful course to learn the first order approach to the optical design

Excellent! Keep offering courses like this! Thank you very much!

Amazing course, a bit tricky though! Instructor is really good.

The best course to start a career in optics l.

Excellent course, thank you Amy and Robert.

It was great experience to learn zemax

Very clear lectures and explanations

This is a great introductory course!

this course is very interesting.

Nice Coarse to get started with.

Matlab skills are learned.

Прекрасный курс по оптике

I loved the course!

This course is good

Excellent course

great course

excellent

good

As physics courses go, this one is good but not great. Which is to say, the prof does a good job explaining the concepts but has a tendency to dive into complex examples without giving basic examples first. As others have stated, this means you'll have to do a fair amount of searching the internet for other resources to supplement the provided course material. It is possible to pass the quizzes and progress even without understanding 100% of the material.

There are some really useful nuggets of information about first-order optical design, which are explained well and often (after you've got past the basics of the first couple of weeks of material). This course gets to be quite rewarding from week 3 onwards. I do recommend it despite its downsides.

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.

The course gives information on basic optics and ray tracing, as well as more involved formulae for systems of thick lenses. I appreciated the various approaches that are presented, analytical, experimental and numerical. More than anything, the introduction to optics studio is very helpful, and I will definitely follow the next courses to deepen my knowledge of optical design.

Very good introduction to optical system design.

Pros: progressive learning, videos well put together, presentation concise and well prepared, access to the pdf presentation,

Cons: little support to install and use the software, no response from the teachers, teachers are not very responsive generally
