One of the very best in TTC!
"In short, this is one of the very best courses in the TTC.
I have written a few commendations and recommendations below.
Commendations:
1. Prof Richard Wolfson is excellent: Clear and enthusiastic.
2. The course is well structured (into six modules).
3. Plenty of insights per lecture.
4. Plenty of practical examples and demonstrations (which makes the concepts very easy to understand).
5. Shows the 'big picture' synthesis of physics topics. Although I learnt physics in high school and university, some of them were 'too detailed', and I find Prof Wolfson's lectures to be clearer with the overall 'big picture' (e.g., centrifugal motion (lecture 9); rotational motion (lecture 32)).
6. Some of the specific lectures, modules and topics that I really love are:
- The semiconductor-to-computer module (fantastic! I never knew I can learn all of this in less than 6 lectures (in the module));
- The logic gates AND, XOR, NOR, NAND explanations etc make perfect sense in less than one lecture (lecture 22);
- Gyroscope example (lecture 32) - never knew how this works before!;
- Phase diagram of water (explained simply) - (lecture 27); and
- Nuclear fusion and the curve of binding energy (lecture 34).
Recommendation - only one:
- I think it is okay to have more maths to make us really understand various physics phenomena deeper.
Overall conclusion: One of the best courses I have purchased from TTC and listened to."
