It's really a good course because it consists of not too big chunks of information, small enough to get a grip on. Great overview of many completely different fields of science where emergence plays a role. A deeper insight of especially how the brain creates these emergent phenomena would be interesting but of course it's off course ;-), because that would be whole different session.

This class acted as an excellent overview of a wide variety of topics. The focus was on breadth rather than depth. I would have loved to go more in depth, but I think that is a limitation of the format and lack of mathematical prerequisites for the course. The professor interviews were some of the best material included!

There are very interesting items in this course. I recommend it if you are looking for a general but complete overview to the world of emergence and complex systems.

An excellent explanation of a daily growing matter of science and research. I encourage everyone interested in a groundbreaking view of science, to take this course.

i enjoyed all the different modules. I recommend they add more explanation to the chaos game assignment.

It's a good course to get acquainted with first hand information about studies in emergent phenomena

Perfect course and I think we can learn more detail for each lessons. Thank you very much!

Very good none technical introduction to emergent phenomena.

Excellent entry-level course on the subject.

Great class and mentally stimulating.

Provide more examples of Physics.

Excelent course, I recomend it!

outstanding, do it again!

Nice Course. Thanks.

Exceptional Course

Awesome

All the topics are quite interesting and surprising (and I mean every one of them), but all are treated like popular science with little insight. I had to read elsewhere to fully understand some topics such as reaction-difussion systems. All in all, I wish there was a version of this course for those of us who have no fear of mathematics.

Could have been more mathematical. And could have included a section on space-time, since it's been a while that the notion of emergent space-time has entered the theoretical discussions.

Good sampler course for those curious about emergent patterns across a variety of fields. Casual and fun, although the focus on peer graded assessments somewhat detract from it.

A very good course in introducing advanced concepts in a simple way and have performed the spirit of multidisciplinary research very well.

Has new things I never thought about before. Really interesting.

I've learned a lot about emergent phenomena on this course.

I'm currently on the second module.

The first module, taught by Michael Dennin was great and got me really excited about this course.

The second module, taught by Donald Saari, is really bad. He takes a subject I find very interesting (Chaos), and makes it boring, prattling on in a very disorganized manner while mostly staring at his toes.

I hoping that subsequent modules are more like Michael Dennin's, which was very well done.
