E is better than A.

E is the answer.

"In a two-year course designed for undergraduate students" is a modifier

in A, "In a two year course" is not clear on what its modifying.
E fixes this and makes the meaning clear.

IMO E.

A. The physicist Richard Feynman presented a comprehensive introduction to modern physics designed for undergraduate students in a two-year course.

E. In a two-year course designed for undergraduate students, the physicist Richard Feynman presented a comprehensive introduction to modern physics.

A or E, I think it is A.

A - X(comp. intro. to modern physics) is designed for "undergraduate students in a Y(two year course)."

E - In a Y designed for undergraduate students, the physicist RF presented X.

In E, Y and X seems like they are completly connected. X must be for Y designed for Under. studetents. Where as in A, X must be for Undergraduate students in a Y.

I really think A makes more sense.... does anyone have any suggestions?? :)
