Practical Experience  
Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it  
Message You can deepen your understanding on electromagnetism, quantum-mechanical remarkably by solving problems by yourself, and explaining it using a blackboard. We hope you will learn independently and make the most of the opportunities. 
Other Please fill in the class improvement questionnaire. 
Please fill in the class improvement questionnaire which is carried out on all classes.
Instructors will reflect on your feedback and utilize the information for improving their teaching.
