Feedback of the students

Mahmoud Saleh, Assuit University says
I can say that the whole lectures are so nice and convincing. All lectures give new words and frontiers not only in plasma physics but also in science and scientific research in general. When Dr. Ibrahim Elkamash presented his lectures I heard new things that I do not know much about. Things are such as the difference between physical & mathematical systems, modeling, and building of physical theories & hypotheses. Also, Dr. Mahmoud Saad gave me a hint about why physicists prefer scalar functions like Hamiltonian and Lagrangian rather than Newtonian ones. Besides that, Dr. Waleed Moslem talked about regimes, approximations, and limits of using models as approaches to plasma systems which I heard for the first time in my life. In presentations of conferences, one knew new themes in research like that of Dr. Mohamed Ezzat presented in Plasma-Pulse Geo-Drilling for Geothermal Energy. Lastly, I would like to say that all lectures are very interesting and fascinating. One lecture (by Dr. Amr El-Zant) was very compressed and I do not understand very well. I think this lecture needs to be stretched.

بالنسبة للدكاترة الموضوع كان مميز بالنسبالي ممكن عشان تخصصي مش حاجه من الي اتشرحت ف مقدرش احكم ع الامور جيدا لكن بشكل عام كنت شايفة المعلومات قيمة

the speakers were very supportive and hardworking, the lectures were informative but for some lectures they were so advanced for someone who is the first time to start to deal with plasma

Most of the lecture were easy except Cosmological plasma and the microwave background, it was very complicated for me, the speakers are very friendly and modiste especially prof/ Mohamed Ezzat.

كانت ممتازه حيث قدمت نبذه مختصره عن المفاهيم الأساسيه للبلازما بطريقه مبسطه

المحاضرات كانت جميلة جدًا وألمت بالبالزما من نواحي كتيرة وكانت أفضل مقدمة ممكن الواحد يتعرضلها في علم البلازما. يمكن بس بعض المحاضرات النظرية في أساسيات البلازما كانت محتاجة وقت أكبر فده ممكن يتظبط بإن المحاضرات اللي في أساسيات علم البلازما تاخد وقت أطول + It would be nice if there were some problem solving sessions

It was such an honor to be surrounded by great physicists and engineers. All doctors were amazing; they gave us the knowledge to go deeper into plasma physics.

The lectures were more about theoretical plasma and very little about experimental physics

المحاضرات و الدكاتره كانوا كويسين ولكن بعض المحاضرات مقدرتش افهمها كانت advanced، عجبني كمان التنوع فالمواضيع و قدرت اعرف تطبيقات البلازما اكتر.

اعتقد المحاضرات و المحاضرون كانوا جيدين جدا و متعاونين و تم عرض اكثر من فكرة و اكثر من موضوع

Very informative and well worth it for the great knowledge it gives you. Speakers were very friendly, supportive and encouraging. Open communication was one of the strongest skill that I learned during the school. I wish the school had been longer in period so we can discuss more topics.

The lectures explaining the fundamentals of plasma were very useful and beneficial for me. However, some of the too specific topics on some lectures were advanced or not of my interest because they are in different field of mine. But that variety of topics that show the application of plasma in different fields widened my horizon and made me gain more ideas about the other fields.

المحاضرين والمحاضرات كانت عظيمة جدا وتناسب طلبة الدراسات العليا اكتر اعتقد المحاضرات كانت محتاجة مقدمات زيادة واكتر عن البلازما، كنت اتمني يدخل مجال بلازما الفضاء اكتر و هندسة وتطبيقات البلازما

The lectures were especially useful and enriched me with valuable information. I knew new things in plasma through those lectures, in fact, it was the first time I hear about them. It was a great chance to take part in plasma school and listen to lectures from the pioneer professors of plasma physics.

In general, the lectures were very good but it needs to be more attractive about the topics. I highly recommend speakers like Dr. Ibrahim Elkamash I want to especially thank him for his presentation skills, you can also invite more professors from different places I think they were not enough in the school. So you can pay more attention to develop the students skills (ideas of other presentations: how to speak to the audience and make a good presentation, how to apply to a scholarship in detail and hints from [speakers that actually won a scholarship and had international experience], current trends in research, scientific writing and research ... there are a lot of ideas). force speakers not to repeatedly talk alot about introduction about plasma it might already be done by the opening of the school and to jump to the point quickly then motivate them with their work. the group work is the most important time you have to think about keep it up it to force participants to social more with each other.

Eslam Soltan, Port Said University & Badr University in Assuit says
البلازما اسكول فرقت معايا كتير واستفدت منها كتير جدا. المحاضرات كانت شيقة وفيها تنوع واختلاف ولكن بشكل منسق بيخدم على الهدف العام. والبلازما اسكول من اقوى الكومينتى الموجوده حاليا خصوصا فى الفيزياء بيتلاقى فيها مختلف الافكار والفئات من مختلف الجامعات. الدكاترة بتتعامل بكل تواضع مع الطلاب مافيش حد بيبخل على حد بمعلومة وكلهم بيرحبوا جدا بتقديم المساعدة .كمان الجو العام للسكول بيساعد الطلاب انهم يكسروا حاجز الخجل والخوف ويبدائوا يتعملوا مع بعض وكمان بتنمى روح العمل الجماعى فى الجروب ورك المختلفة .وحلقات النقاش كانت بتساع الجميع وكان مرحب باى حد انه يشارك.

Lectures and speakers were very good and cooperative. Lecturers introduced theoretical plasma in a good and organized manar especially Dr.Samy Salem and Dr.Ibraheem El Kamash who has a great knowledge about theoritical plasma. I admired Dr.El Zant who made a great difference on my knowledge with his excellent background about the basics of physics. Unfortunately, Lectures were very little in the experimental direction. Finally I really admired Dr.Azza Talab who was a great example of experimental researcher.

Anonymous says
The lectures are clear and well prepared, yet the content is prepared assuming that all the attendees have a good background on plasma. The lectures are not suitable for 0 background.

علي ان اشيد بمدى احترافية التقديم وطريقة توصيل المعلومة الذي يدل على الاهتمام بالجانب الاكاديمي والبحثي ومراعاة التطوير الدوري والدائم ومواكبة العالم ومحاولة الوصول لاعلى جودة وبمواصفات عالمية في الجانب العلمي والبحثي في مصر

بالنسبه للمحاضرات كان في حاجات استفادنا منها فعلا و الحاجات التانيه فتحت لينا طريق لحاجات كتير ندور عليها و نستفيد الدكاتره كانوا حاجه الواحد مش متوقعها خالص ان نقعد عادي كده و نتكلم براحتنا مع اي دكتور عموما دي حاجه انا مش بعرف اعملها في الطبيعي مع كل الناس

عاوزه أقول انها كانت تجربه لطيفه جدا وانه المحاضرين كانوا ناس عظيمه بجد بس كنت حابه اقول حاجه بسيطه انه كانت بدايه معظم المحاضرين كانت حاجه advanced شويه لمعظم الناس لانه ف ناس مكنش عندها معلومات كافيه تخليها تستوعب اللي بيتقال بس كانت بتحاول تفهم وكمان وقت وعدد ساعات المحاضرات كان محتاج يتوزع ع ايام اكتر شويه عشان الاستيعاب يحصل بطريقه أفضل لكن فكره المدرسه فكره عظيمه لانها كمان خلتنا اتعرفتا علي محاضرين عظماء وطلبه مختلفه واتعرفنا ع عقليات عظيمه ومختلفه واستفادنا من بعض بجد كان ليا الشرف اني حضرت مدرسه البلازما وسط ناس في مجالها مختلفه وشاطره بجد

Honestly, not all the lectures met my expectations, yet overall they were quite helpful and informative.

Lectures and presentations that addressed research aspects of plasma were very good, and gave very proper exposure to the subject in an interesting way. However, theory lectures were mostly below expectations. They were very shallow, and did not provide a proper introduction to theoretical plasma physics foundations, apart from the very absolute basics. Overall, my learning experience was rewarding, and I hope to participate again in the future.

The lectures were very helpful, They introduced me to the field neatly especially that of Dr.Ibraheem ElKamash as he focused on the classifications and scientific terminologies, and he was very organized. In addition to the lectures of Dr. Waleed they had a huge positive impact on my knowledge about the field. Lastly, I was greatly inspired by Dr. Azza Talab and the way she delivered to us how great the mindset of a scientist can be, she is very humble and honest and the most persistent. this is in addition to all the lectures that had great speakers and great content. Thank you

I absolutely loved the school and it was inspiring on so mant levels. The content was good but some lectures needed more elaboration. I found the MEMS lecture very irrelevant. I highly recommend that each speaker states his prereq. for it to be easier to follow the lecture or at least announce us what should be revised to be in the picture.

The instructors were very awsome. but the fundmental need more effort than that. Physics without math is meanless. if i have statistics said that 70% of the applicants have no idea about plasma, i would push more effort to establish these fundmentals. Yup it was very fantastic to discuss were plasma reach and were is the field of research and discuss with them (researchers) their projects and researches. You can do smth like a panel talks or round table the presenter discuss the content. thats will save time for fundmental. Also, you need to redesign the lectures time to give each one the real time which she deserve. Derviation is very important. Yup i understand that the aim of school to give some information about plasma and if you like it come and continue,but that will not happend if is there a good base. The background is not the same yup but we can give them the opportunity to get close from each other not by connection only but also their levels. who know educated who does not know.

I do like the engagement of instructors and their TAs into the programme especially Dr Azza and how she created a different mode of learning during the lecture, how they were trying their best to simplify theories especially Dr Ibrahim, and of course not to forget about the last two lectures provided by Dr Waleed and Faisal that were really helpful for the career of every scientist. However, I sometimes thought the courses were deviated to an advanced level that not everyone was in a complete understanding of what is happening, like Dr Amr El Zant and Dr Diaa.

We should refere to the previous plasma schools' lectures for the students to be updated with the whole content of previous plasma schools

The lecturers and speakers were amazing and helpful. Each one was able to give the information with a very understandable way which was important to the participants. They made us explore new applications and fields in the plasma world. They gave the opportunity to discuss any questions we had in mind with a very comfortable way in delivering. I would like to add a third option as one of the best lecturers Professor Ibrahim Elkamash about Plasma models and how he made it so easy and fun to all the listeners.
