評價教學內容	#1  強烈建議take左或同時讀PHYS3031/4031（都係有關statistical mechanics 嘅course）是旦一科先好take，因為要用到唔少Stat.Mech知識，同時亦強烈建議要睇textbook先明教緊咩；Take 左Relativity course先再take呢科都有用 呢個course教咩睇prof.，正常情況下點都會教吓cosmology同 stellar evolution嘅；問題呢位prof.用左9成時間教cosmology….
評價教員教學	#1  本身cosmology同stellar evolution係好有趣，但佢5個chapter入面教頭2個chapter嘅cosmology 居然用左接近兩個月去教，教學滯後哂又唔安排補課去追返進度，係去到最後幾堂先突然極速咁教，需要至少1個月時間去教嘅Stellar evolution就濃縮到只有2日去教兼跳左好多stellar evolution 啲基本嘢，後面3個chapter真係完全係靠自修同問TA先明後面啲chapter啲concept；仲要喺教學進度嚴重滯後嘅前提下偷最後嗰堂嚟考final，有一份assignment deadline係final之後，簡直離哂大譜。
CUSIS科目資料	Description： This course provides an introduction to modern astronomy and cosmology. Topics include: star formation and pre-main sequence evolution, main sequence stars, post-main sequence evolution: red giants, white dwarfs, supernovae, neutron stars and black holes. Students should have basic knowledge in mechanics, quantum mechanics and thermal physics (PHYS3011, 3021, 3031) before taking this course. Students are advised to seek prior advice from the instructor before enrolment.   Learning Outcome： By the end of the course, students will be able to: 1. describe and explain the basic concepts of galactic/stellar formation and evolution, compact objects, and cosmology 2. demonstrate the ability to further pursue these topics in depth 3. apply the knowledge acquired from other courses (eg, quantum physics, statistical mechanics, electromagnetism etc) to study various astrophysical systems

評價教學內容	#1 頭一半講complex analysis， 唔駛prove， 後一半講frobenius method 同 hypergeometric equation，要背書不過final唔難。Theory會用多啲，aim experimental phy 嘅可以唔駛reg
評價教員教學	#1 friendly，新professor， 教學方式偏數學（真正嘅physics例子實在太難）
CUSIS科目資料	Description： This course provides students with the essential mathematical physics background needed for carrying out postgraduate studies in physics.

評價教學內容	#1 Quantum Mechanics係Physics其中一科最concept最難嘅科，啲concept非常抽象，例如Fourier transform of k-space、harmonic oscillator、spin等等，唔用多啲時間自習或者睇吓啲Quantum 教科書（如Griffith Quantum，Susskind Quantum Mechanics）必定會爛grade，而且都用到唔少linear algebra；Major Phy就必讀呢科無計，如果係non major嗰啲就真係要慎選，真係要讀呢科建議操熟少少linear algebra
評價教員教學	#1 好有心教，但問題真係興奮過頭講啲嘢太深，lecture唔係好知噏咩(雖然你會feel到係啲勁嘢)，lecture之前無自習過基本上唔使嚟上堂，而且mid-term超級難，MC問concept可以有1-4個答案仲要配對唔啱哂啲答案嗰題0分，莫講高分，想攞啖沙都好難；不過呢位prof.出嘅啲notes質素都唔錯，問hw都願意答你嘅，hw deadline撞左mid-term求佢extend都肯酌情處理，final難得嚟都尚算有人性畀返易嘅題目啲位你執返啲沙石，所以整體嚟講風評係非常兩極
CUSIS科目資料	Description： This course provides an exposition of the central concepts and theoretical framework of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. Topics include: origins of quantum theory, Schrödinger equation, one-dimensional problems, harmonic oscillators, central potential problems, spins, and an overview of formalism in Dirac notation.   Learning Outcome： By the end of the course, students will be able to: 1.      have a general understanding of how quantum theory was developed, and in particular appreciate how a new theory is developed when an existing theory fails to explain experimental observations 2.      state and explain  the basic concepts of wave-particle duality, uncertainty principle, and interpretation of quantum mechanical wave functions 3.      solve the Schrödinger equation in various physical problems 4.      demonstrate knowledge of the basic formulation of quantum mechanics, including the concept of state vectors and axioms of quantum mechanics 5.      approach and tackle a given problem and apply appropriate mathematical and analytical skills in solving the problem
