It is honestly hard to describe how amazing the lectures were. It is almost impossible to find such a huge amount of detailed knowledge combined with the lecturers’ expertise delivered in just one week, with this level of clarity and full comprehension. May God reward them all for their efforts. In addition, the way the lectures were presented and the genuine scientific passion truly brought me back to life academically. Their presence and constant support awakened a research interest in me that I had once abandoned due to the difficulty of accessing this field. Without any exaggeration, I consider this first advanced school to be the true beginning of my scientific journey.

الكورس كان أكثر من رائع حقيقي. الموضوعات مش هلاقيها متجمعة بالشكل دا في كتاب، حسيت اني باخد خلاصة تعلم أساتذة لسنين في أسبوع، بقدر ما الوقت كان مضغوط والأسبوع كان تقيل إلا إني استمعت لأقصى درجة بالشرح والأسئلة والدخول في التفاصيل بشكل مخليني ممتنة جدا ليكم حقيقي. دكتور وليد ودكتور إبراهيم عندهم قدرة على توصيل أصعب الموضوعات بأقرب الطرق لينا اللهم بارك يا رب، شكرا كتير على مجهودكم معانا طول الأسبوع وشكرا لكل التيم بجد. من الحجات اللي ساعدتنا جدا بردو وجود باقي التيم معانا والتوتوريال اللي بعد المحاضرات كان فارق جدا في فهم كل خطوة بالراحة.
