I usually give Coursera courses five stars, and while this course is chock full of well organized content, the quizzes were often very difficult to interpret. More challenging, this is an intermediate or higher level course, and you need a basic understanding of materials science, but a LOT more math to make sense of much of the content. But the primary reason for the "average" rating was the final module, which started out with great content, but required installation of Python, Anaconda ("Conda") and then a PyMKS package with very little guidance from Coursera. The installation and testing of the module was "difficult"; no videos were available showing actual use of the PyMKS package to do analysis. In other words, the most important part of the class, which really could shine, was a disappointment, with no support links (or discussion forums) from Coursera to answer questions. That said, if you're really good with Python, and have a solid materials science foundation, there's a lot to take away from the course. But the last section is simply "unfinished" IMO (and I teach college STEM for a living).

Pretty advaced stuff! The starters must have a solid grip on statistics, Linera algebra(Eigenvalue, Eigenvector, SVD), ,Intergral transforms (Fourier and Laplace), ICT, Computer programming (especially Python) and Introductory materials science. A tensor analysis and Perturbation theory background is helpful.

A lot of new formalism and a good link or repositories have been provided. The n-point statistics and specially the mathematics of Localization are extremely complicated, and poorly presented (localization-homogenization, specially Capital Gamma function and numerical solution to integral equations) of having rich assemblage of knowledge.

The first two weeks and specially the first week could have been arranged in mor pedagogically suitable manner. Still I am Giving it 4 instead of e stars for profound knowledge embedded into the course.

I liked very much the fact that this course on "materials data science" gave me a general insight into what could look like the data science for material scientist. However, one should admit that it was too abrupt when it comes into informatics and modeling. The knowledgeable instructor seems to assume that all of us have a background in mathematics and statistics too. I suppose a way to improve the quality and effectiveness of the course is to give a bit more time on these aspects in correlation with materials science.

In addition, the week 5 on pyMKS was not updated based on the present information on the website of pyMKS.

Thank you for the generous sharing of your knowledge!

Great, fantastic information that made me see the importance of data sciences in materials science and engineering. My only request would be to potentially spend more time fleshing out PCA and the statistical tools around it; most of it went over my head without seeing a step-by-step application of it that showed the calculations. Maybe it could be optional so that those who are already strong in PCA can skip it.

I really enjoyed learning this course. But I needed to do additional courses to understand the key words used in the definitions of basic concepts in this course. It would have been helpful if supporting materials (reading or videos) that can bridge our background of (material science or physics or chemistry alone) to the course's topics.

Great concepts and descriptions, however, it can be surprisingly dry and not helping is the monotonous way the lessons are being carried out. The PyMKs helps to alleviate the boredom though so do download the program and try it out for yourself after understanding the basics of the course.

A great introductory course into Material Data Sciences and Informatics. Had a relatively hard time when the course turned form introduction into hardcore statistics. Moreover, it can be more helpful if there are more practical projects and tutorial on introduced tools.

Some lectures from week 1 and week 5 are identical, hence repetitive. The case study is really good. Week 3 contains the most important information. Hence, week 3 needs more clarification on a basic level. Sometimes I felt unconnected with the lectures.

This course provides great inputs on how data science can be implemented in material science. Though it didn't deal deep into all the concepts, it was focussed to explain briefly what is out there in the field of materials informatics.

Overall it was a very good course and I recommend it for all students interested in material science.But the installation procedure could have been updated and I still face problems in installation of Softwares to use.
