8.701: Introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics
Fall 1998 Summary

Lecturer: Professor June Matthews

Enrollment: 13
Number of students commenting: 4

8.701 is a graduate-level course which explores the foundations of nuclear and particle physics, and the fundamental forces and particles found therein.

It was difficult to get a feel for the class overall. Very few comments were received in regard to this class, and those that were received were extremely specific. One person wanted to see more example problems in class; both he and another student suggested referring to Professor Milner's notes. The only student commenting on the content felt that it was good; however, he wanted to consolidate the textbooks. Two people felt that the problem sets were too vague; another commented that the last four were too difficult.
