Evaluation of Courses WS 2010/11

The Research Institute of Textile Chemistry and Textile Physics offers a number of special courses for PhD and Masters students. We commit ourselves to the preparation of high quality lectures as one of our core qualifications, which also include scientific expertise and research output. We are glad to see that our audience appreciates our efforts. In any case we will analyse the output of the evaluation results WS2010/11 to identify fields where improvements can be achieved.
