I was new to network theory but the concepts were very well articulated. A whole new way of looking at what makes social relationships, favor exchange(s) and social networks work. Well worth the time.

Really enjoyed this course. The professor is really good and covers quite a lot of ground during the lectures. Good way to get into complex networks! Probably gonna do some studying on my own now :)

Es un curso excelente que permite avanzar y lograr una mejor comprensión en la teoría de redes y las aplicaciones a economía. Si bien tener fundamentos sobre redes puede ser de utilidad, el curso es autocontenido.

Really interesting. there is a lot of material and a lot of formula to be covered and Prof. Jackson does a great job teaching it.
Also, his book is really intesresting and goest deeper than the videoes

Dr. Jackson is clear and concise in his explanations and did a great job creating a high-level overview course on a subject for which he obviously has a much greater wealth of knowledge.

Really good course. This professor knows what he's talking about and is a person to aspire to become. I wish the mathematical notation was more standard and consistant.

Matt is a fantastic instructor and has inspired many new ideas for my PhD project. Putting this course up here for free is extremely generous of both Matt and Coursera.

Matthew is a very good teacher. I felt like conversating on social behaviors and network structures while learning pretty complex statistical physics.
Thank you

The book "Social and Economic Networks" by Matthew O. Jackson is amazing and the lectures are very nice for whom wants to acquire the skills on her/his own.

very helpful in understanding how idealized network models explain the observations in the real world; also got insights on the methodology in social science

An excellent walkthrough of the literature. I just wish there were more empirical exercises and and more hands-on work with the data and algorithms.
