The course gave a really nice introduction to Geometrical Optics, with lectures that are easy to understand. It also allows you to download a demo version of Zemax OpticStudio as part of the course, which I don't believe you can do anywhere else.

Great course. I liked that the problem sets felt well thought out. A lot of the problems seemed standard at first, but then when you finish them you realize they were leading you to a meaningful conclusion about that type of optical system.

Pretty much intuitive and quite sort of pushing up was involved throughout the course. I tried hard to get the most as much as possible out of it. Practices and tasks, all assignments, are well preparing one for the optical design industry

Very well delivered lectures - explanation of concepts are done methodically. Recording of and presentation of lab experiments were good and to the point. Assignments were challenging but well within the grasp of subject taught.

Thank Professors for the informative course that forces us to deal with some practical design systems. Some problems needed extra knowledge that not taught here and we should search for them in more detail.

I enjoyed very much this course! It gives a detailed (yet understandable for a broader audience) introduction to several methodologies to understand optical systems, mostly lenses, and their design.

Wonderful course! I have learned a lot. This course not only covers the knowledge but also the actual approach to design a working optical system.

w​ell-organized course. The obvious benefit of online course is that you don't need to struggle to read professors' often messy handwritings.

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

the professors explain very clearly and go from thin to thick. It is easy to understand.

Gostei muito, acho que todo principiante deveria cursa-lo, recomendo com certeza!

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

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

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

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

Excellent course, thank you Amy and Robert.

It was great experience to learn zemax

this course is very interesting.

Nice Coarse to get started with.

Matlab skills are learned.
