This is a very well designed thermodynamics course. I'm a Chemical Engineer and i am glad to have a new point of view of my daily rutine. 100% recomended to my collegues

Some of the best lectures I've ever seen. They manage to present difficult and subtle material in a clear manner. Exercises were good too. I learned a lot! Thanks from Norway :)

Thank you for your kind lectures and videos and experiments of Statistical Molecular Thermodynamics, sir. I have been deeply moved and decide to continue to study about that topics. Professor have first mentioned in lectures about patent office in USA, then we have studied, in final exam, Professor says about patent office judgements. I guess Professor and College Stuffs would educate and grow " 2nd Albert Einstein in 21 century " or not, sir. If so Professor and College Stuffs are " Arnold Sommerfelt in USA ", I think. In his theoretical lectures, he says, after you have readen my books, go to Planck lecuters. I would try to study advanced course, becaouse of getting your kind introductions and lectures. Thak you, sir. I am living in Japan now, sir. In Japan, we have had some major earthquakes from 1995 to 2018 and this year 2023 is the 100 th memorial of Majar Earthqakes of Capital. We are trying to precdict next "South Sea Major Earthquakes" ( because this earthquakes happens almost reguarlly by "Earth Plates Elasticity and Mantle Flow and Themodynamnics") but errot time = 50 year ～ 200 year ( Earth Physics), sir. Honestly speaking, now it is difficult, sir. If Proffesor or College students or Stuffs would come to Japan, I reccomend you to see the videos " NHK ( ← Japanese BBC )　Capital Earthqukae and South Sea Major Earthquake Simulation TV ". If you would come to "Kansai" ( middle west of Japanese Islands ), when South Sea Major Earthquake happen in Wakayama Plates, your cell phone and NHK TV arrets your gudgets. After 1 ～ 5 [s], you would feel major S waves of Earthquakes. So be careful to shut down fire gudgets, and protect your body. After 10 [min] ～ 1 [hour], perhaps you would have "Tsunami " ( like East Japan Major Earthquakes ), so soon you must run away high tough buildings or mountains in order to save your life from Water. Some pet bottle waters and emergency foods (like as calorie mate ) would help you. Then if you are abandoned and alone, never give up. Cell Phone GPS signals calling helps and we are seaching hidden victims. After 2 ～ 3 days, Japanese Government soon send Special Stuffs and Food and Water and Construction to there. Please take care of yourselves, sir. Many thanks to your kind Lectures, sir. I hope May God bless Professor and College Stuffs and Students, sir.

wow,the courses really proves how micro molecular energies contribute to a compound which is in macro level with a highly precise tool which is our quantum mechanics in statistical manner along with that classical subject is really objective . the professor and the staff are so interactive inspite the course has been educating for 7 years . good thing about professor is more handy with words and so active which made me much more involving and enjoying .thank you and i also appreciate the team who worked on it.

The course is very well designed. There are classical thermodynamic topics, molecular elements and experimental demonstrations. All these fundamentals were very well intertwined. It is overall a very good introduction to thermodynamics. I have already done classical thermodynamics in the university. I used the course specially for an introduction to the molecular part, which I have never studied before. It was still very useful and informative. I totally recommend the course for both reasons.

Chris Cramer is a great speaker who clearly put a lot of care into how this material was presented. I have taken physical chemistry in my undergrad education and did well in it, but still learned a lot from the ~4 weeks of this course I actually did last time. By using base theoretical principles to motivate the thermodynamic principles, I got a different way to think about things I was familiar with and gave me a more intuitive understanding for certain things.

Excellent content, and a very competent instructor who knows his stuff. I learned a lot from this course, and most of this wasn't taught even in my second year of Bachelor's degree in Chemistry. The demonstrations were very useful in grasping some key concepts which I couldn't understand from the lectures. The questions asked were of a good difficulty level and made me think a lot. Overall, I enjoyed this course and would recommend it to everyone.

I would like to thank sincerely all the people at the University of Minnesota involved, directly or indirectly, in the development of this very high quality course in statistical molecular thermodynamics. In addition, I have no doubt that these lessons will be a source of light and help, of course, for my future technical responsibilities in chemical sciences, but above all for a better understanding of our universe.

Excellent course. Outstanding presentation in a lively and engaging style. The material is explained very clearly and in good detail, with frequent reminders of previous items when relevant. Also benefits from humourous and diverting practical demonstrations of physical & chemical effects. Only shortcoming in my view is that the homework grading is only available if you stump up the fee of £39.

I took the course when it was first offered in 2013, and found it to be one of the best organized, most clearly presented on-line courses that I have seen. I recently re-enrolled in order to review, and was pleasantly surprised to see that the professor has made some follow-on lectures available on Youtube. I hope that this additional material will eventually be the basis for another course.

This is the best organized course on any platform, MOOC or live-in-classroom. Lectures, reading material, supporting documentation... everything is perfectly well laid out, sequentially, and in good order. Really, a delight taking this course. Even for students whose math skills are rusty, the concepts are ideally presented. Bravo to the instructor and supporting staff!

One of the best courses for thermodynamics with molecular approach.Well detailed and really well explained.Though this course is categorized as beginner level,having some prior knowledge of thermodynamics will be helpful.The assignments,on-spot assessment questions between video clips are of very good standard and also well documented and well explained.

Very well structured material and clear expositions that help to understand the foundations that fill the gap between molecular and macroscopic thermodynamics in a simplified (i.e. ideal gases), yet suitable context. Besides, demonstrations are thoroughly chosen and help to illustrate the theoretical contents. I really enjoyed the course.

A very thorough and clear coverage of thermodynamics and gas behavior. The lectures are very well-produced, accessible, and paced nearly perfectly. Great demonstrations, humor, and history keep the material relevant and exciting. Would highly recommend to physicists, chemists, and engineers of all backgrounds!

I found this course very dense to a basic level, but, it gave to me a sense of what expect in a thermodynamic point of view of things. I'm a 1yr chemical engeneering student and I really enjoyed this course. Congrats to all collabs and specially to Dr. Cramer. Thank you.

This was one of the best courses that I've taken online. Lectures are succinct, yet expansive in subject matter and are broken down into digestible segments. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning more about Statistical Molecular Thermo.

Dear Professor, Dr. Christopher J. Cramer. Now I have a good knowledge base in thermodynamics.

I congratulate you and the group of professionals who have accompanied you for having made an excellent MOOC. Thank you very much and success

This course is just awesome and explains the complicated concepts very well. It is definitely the best presentation of the material I have seen thus far. The problems are manageable and help to understand the material.

It is an excellent course! Professor Cramer made an outstanding version of statistical thermodynamics, presenting the more relevant concepts, instigating our curiosity with demonstrations in a well-structured course.
