Social Network Analysis Course Staff

Thanks to everyone for a lively start to the first week. 21K students have been active in the course so far. This is the first time the course is being taught online, and we appreciate your participation and helpful feedback as we iron out some kinks. We are grateful to those of you who fearlessly watched lectures and submitted assignments on the very first day, and are especially grateful to those who are helping others through the forums.

Guided by the forum discussions, we have compiled some troubleshooting info for NetLogo and Gephi. We encourage you to help make the wiki our go-to spot for useful info by contributing to it. Don't fret about Gephi and NetLogo. If you can get Pajek, UCINet, or similar to work, you will be able to do "Gephi" assignments. The forum and wiki would be great places to help one another translate between these different software packages. NetLogo runs very reliably as a standalone application, so there's no worry about being able to run/use NetLogo. NetLogo's creators have also given us updated browser applet software, so e.g. the community visualization demo should be usable with more browser setups (as long as you enable Java!).

Here are some of the most common issues:
1) Video playback is flaky: make sure you are using the most up-to-date browser. If all else fails, download the video.
2) Can't open pptx slides: under 'video lectures' we have now made PDF versions available.
3) NetLogo app won't load, Gephi won't install (see above)
4) Where is dining.gephi, HW1 template
5) formatting HW1 for auto-grader (use Notepad++ or similar on Windows to keep the text clean, upload the .gml from GetNet directly, also see forum for additional tips)
6) HTML toggle obscures video in Lecture 1A (we have removed the toggle)

What you can do to help:
* keep reporting issues in the forums
* search the forum before you post (is there already a thread with your question?) to reduce clutter
* vote up interesting questions and helpful answers, mark questions as resolved if they are
* share solutions to frustrations you've encountered
* add information to the wiki

Reminders:
* HW1 is due next Friday Oct. 5th
* Twitter: @SNAcourse, #SNAc, thanks for all the thanks, enthusiasm and interesting thoughts tweeted to these! We've been admonished about retweeting too much, but we do appreciate them. BTW, if you'd like a response to a request for help, the forum is a more reliable/helpful place.
* Did we mention how we'd like to build up the wiki? Those useful tools you were mentioning in the forum, let's put them in the wiki. You plan to do assignments in Pajek? Share Pajek functionality on the wiki. You're writing lecture notes? Please post them!

Lastly, it's amazing to see different communities come together around shared interests. Hope that continues.

Thank you!

3.091x: Introduction to Solid State Chemistry
Overview

About this course

3.091x is a first-year course where chemical principles are explained by examination of the properties of materials. The electronic structure and chemical bonding of materials is related to applications and engineering systems throughout the course. The on-campus version of the course has been taught for over thirty five years and is one of the largest classes at MIT. The class will cover the relationship between electronic structure, chemical bonding, and atomic order, and characterization of atomic arrangements in crystalline and amorphous solids: metals, ceramics, semiconductors, and polymers (including proteins). There will be topical coverage of organic chemistry, solution chemistry, acid-base equilibria, electrochemistry, biochemistry, chemical kinetics, diffusion, and phase diagrams. Examples will be drawn from industrial practice (including the environmental impact of chemical processes), from energy generation and storage (e.g. batteries and fuel cells), and from emerging technologies (e.g. photonic and biomedical devices).
Students will complete weekly concept questions, watch videos and work on interspersed exercises, as well as submit weekly homework. Homework assignments may be submitted multiple times until the deadline. Those who earn a passing grade will get an honor code certificate from MITx.

Prerequisites

Some familiarity with high school chemistry is useful but not required.

Michael Cima

Michael Cima is a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and has an appointment at the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research. He earned a B.S. in chemistry and a Ph.D. in chemical engineering, both from the University of California at Berkeley. He was elected a Fellow of the American Ceramics Society in 1997 and was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2011. Prof. Cima's research concerns advanced technology for medical devices that are used for drug delivery and diagnostics, high-throughput development methods for formulations of materials and pharmaceutical formulations. Prof. Cima is an author of thirty seven US patents, a co-inventor of MIT’s three dimensional printing process, and a co-founder of four startup companies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to buy a textbook?

No, a free online version of Chemistry: Principles, Patterns, and Applications, First Edition by Bruce Averill and Patricia Eldredge will be available, though you can purchase a printed version (published by FlatWorld Knowledge) if you’d like.

Do I need a calculator?

Any simple calculator will suffice, such as the one provided in the online courseware.

Do I need any other materials?

We will provide both a periodic table and a table of constants.

Will certificates be awarded?

Yes. Online learners who achieve a passing grade in a course can earn a certificate of mastery. These certificates will indicate you have successfully completed the course, but will not include a specific grade. Certificates will be issued by edX under the name of either HarvardX, MITx or BerkeleyX, designating the institution from which the course originated. For the courses in Fall 2012, honor code certificates will be free.

Other questions

If you have any questions about edX generally, please see the edX FAQ.
