>> It's only appropriate that I thank the many people who helped in the creation of
this course for Coursera. So let me begin with [MUSIC] academic
leadership at the University of Minnesota.
And thank Karen Hanson, the Provost at the University of Minnesota.
And also Bob Rubinyi, who's the Director of the Office of e-Learning.
>> Thanks, Chris. Great job.
>> Within the Chemistry Department, I need to thank my colleagues.
[MUSIC] Andy Healy who was co-instructor and did a lot of the development of the
assessments that were used in this course.
In addition Joe Franek the Demonstration Guru who helped out and created many of
the demonstrations that have appeared throughout the course.
My colleague professor Dave Blank, who developed original versions of many of
the slides that were used in the video lectures.
And finally Bill Tolman, the chair of chemistry at the University of Minnesota,
who provided some of the administrative infrastructure that made this possible.
Within the University of Minnesota's Office of Information Technology, there
are a number of individuals who played key roles.
Lauren Marsh, who served as project manager.
Keith Brown, who served as course manager for this course.
Christina Lopez, who acts as an academic technologist.
[MUSIC] Dave Lindeman, who was one of the videographers.
And James Ondrey, another videographer. Within the university's libraries and the
Center for Teaching and Learning, I want to thank Nancy Sims, Copyright
Librarian. Shane Nackerud, who's a Technology Lead.
Lindsay Matts, in instructional design, and finally Jane O'Brien, who's the
associate director of the Center for Teaching and Learning.
Then there's one other entity I need to thank.
That would be Canis Lupus who's been lurking behind me on the bookshelf and
keeping the studio safe for statistical molecular thermodynamics.
Thank you there wolf. Well, okay, the train has reached the
station. We have dragged that first law smoke all
the way to the end of the course. I sincerely hope it has been a useful
exercise for you. I certainly have enjoyed the opportunity
to teach what I know about thermodynamics.
