This course will help to know the stress, strain,ductility,fatigue, semiconductor and any other topic. Also help to know the eutectic and eutectoid point.That will be help me go ahead in the engineering sector. My teacher also be great.The system of teaching process also interesting.

Good use of figures and graphs. I like the input of historical references to help understand the material. Lectures can be disengaging at times, the professor uses a lot of pauses which makes it hard to follow. Overall, it's a good introduction and overview to material science.

This course consists of beneficial topics for all engineers. The topics are explained in briefly and the quizes contains the relavent terms about the topics. I hope to take the new courses about material science in Coursera.Thanks UC Davis and Mr James Shackelford.

Lectures by Prof.Shackelford is not very clear as it lacks details but his book is excellent.Places where he takes the lectures is also very good-just the right place that has applications of the subject.

I would say that the lectures delivered by the Prof. James were not loud and clear as he was taking so many pauses in between the speech. Else, the material data illustrated was good !

Very informative course but professor Shackleford was quite sterile and unengaging. He also tended to brush over things without explaining them

it is not bad, but the course should be more detailed, the more information that have been obtained the better.

content is good but more number of experiments need to be added to understand the concepts clearly.

A lot of the answers on the tests are incorrect per data from other institutions.

Poorly designed course. But has some great information with a good explanation.

It's good but depend only save informations than understand it

Not what I thought, but a good introduction to the material.

Poorly Designed course. Not much information to understand.

More in depth explanations w have was omitted.

Though good but less content.

Basic introductory course

Please add more content.

It was OK, I guess...

Nice coures

Good

The lectures were not all at the introductory level. Most of the explanations seemed to be the Professor circling and underlining parts of charts or formulas while reciting basic definitions, rather than going into examples or more in-depth explanations. I found myself going to youtube on several topics for better understanding.

I was disappointed with the treatment of the main concepts. They were cursorily dealt with. Examples from the real world and a more graphic explanation esp. of the crystal defects would have helped. Otherwise, all the main points were covered.

Please explain topic in more effective manner. Professor not focus on the basic concepts. Without pre knowledge you cannot clear it.

Small content, low details, and boring explanation

Very slow and dull narration.
