  • Just generally overall hated this course so much. It was just all over the place content was really uninteresting and just a mile wide inch deep. Was incredibly hard to tell what content was going to be tested or was just added to the slides for...reasons.

  • The course was overall taught very well but the fact that part marks weren't given on the final, messed up everyone's grade. Especially because we weren't told beforehand.

  • Material is sort of tricky, but if you focus on it it shouldn't take too much time - it's less workload than the other courses I'm taking this term. The material is really interesting and relevant to Nano. One of my favorite courses I've taken so far!

  • I found this course to be one of the most beneficial thus far in nano. It did a nice job of instilling a sense of intuition about the what the behaviours and properties of materials might be simply by looking at its formula or thinking about its band structure or MO diagram. I particularly enjoyed the materials science portion on crystal structures and holes. There is also a brief soft materials section which is a nice precursor to the soft nanomaterials course.
