Anonymous questionnaire

Student feedback

At the end of every edition, students fill in an anonymous questionnaire about the course. Here is what they told us — as aggregates, so that no score can be traced back to anyone.

How hard is it, really?

Two questions on difficulty, one on the slides and the bibliography.

Overall difficulty

Globally, on a scale from 1 to 10 what is the level of difficulty experienced in learning the concepts illustrated in the course?

Schrödinger's Box

A cat is sealed in this box, in a superposition of |alive⟩ + |dead⟩. Opening it is a measurement — the state must collapse.
