Instructor

Prof. Atul Srivastava

Semester

Autumn ‘19-‘20

Course Difficulty

The professor focuses on learning the concepts, so the ‘difficulty’ is a non-issue.

Time Commitment Required

Just the classes + a few tutorial sheets to be solved before the exams, nothing else.

Grading Policy and Statistics

3 AAs and 9 ABs out of 20, so quite reasonable - the policy wasn’t revealed

Attendance was taken in class everyday

Pre-requisites

JEE optics

Evaluation Scheme

Midsem and endsem, tutorial sheets, weightages were not disclosed

Topics Covered in the Course

Concepts in optics and applications of optics in metrology

Teaching Style

Prof Atul centers his teaching on concepts with plenty of visual aid to understand the involved concepts (lots of pretty pictures in this course, btw). Equations are mostly only used to convey concepts. There is plenty of room for doubts in the class, and the professor is always willing to stay back after classes to discuss, so do speak up.

Tutorials/Assignments/Projects

They are learning-based
