The evolution of OPTI513 Optical Testing course at the Wyant College of Optical Sciences

Professor James C. Wyant allowed an international visiting student to audit his OPTI513 Optical Testing class in 2005 at the College of Optical Sciences, University of Arizona. The visiting student loved this class, left his graduate study in Astronomy, and joined the College of Optical Sciences in 2006. The student signed up for the optical testing class again, and eventually received his PhD degree in a graduation ceremony led by Dean Wyant in 2009. His name is Daewook Kim and he is now an associate professor in the Wyant College. In 2017, Prof. Wyant asked this graduate to teach OPTI513. He now teaches the course regularly to both on-campus and distance learning students. This is a story of Jim and one of his students who wants to thank him one more time.
