Message  
Other When more than 80 students are registered, a lottery may be done to keep the number of students in a class. A student who chose Physics in the entrance examination in Hiroshima Univ. should select lectures such as "General Mechanics" or "Fundamental Physics" instead of this lecture. 
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.
