Can't give 0 stars unfortunately.
The course is poorly designed. I don't deny the lecturer's knowledge of the material, but he does a horrible job of getting the points across. His voice is more monotone than the sound of pressing a single key on a keyboard. I've had an interest in nanotechnology for quite some time, but this course did not invoke it at all.
The structure of the overall course is also quite problematic. 70% of your grade depends on 2 assignments that are graded by other people taking this course. On top of that, you have no guarantee that these people have any knowledge regarding the course since people who fail the weekly checkpoints are still given permission to grade your papers.
Furthermore, for the quizzes that make up the remaining 30%, you have to look up the answers to half the questions since the lecturer doesn't cover a lot of topics in his slideshow. Also many of the questions aren't in the correct week quizzes. For example, in week 3, the quiz questions were on material from week 4.
Personally, I don't mind it but if you can't stand thick accents and mispronunciations, don't take this course.
Hope this review helps :)

Not an interesting content and the lecturer is not able to clear enough what he mean in many situations. As a result i will leave this course.

This course is the one of the best course i have participated and learn lot of things related to nanotechnology.Also professor explained all the lessons in comprehensive way.

The course content was adequate for the topic, unfortunately the execution was quite lacking.
Most of the video lectures were the prof reading directly from the text book. I found it easier to learn the content by reading by myself. The frequent mispronunciation of many of the words by the presenter was very distracting.
It was only the occasional embedded video that supplemented the printed material that was worth watching, and even some of that was questionable as to its merit.
I also found that some of the quiz questions were from sections of the text that were covered in subsequent videos. In addition, the wording of some of the questions made no sense. It would be a good idea to have someone familiar with this material proof read the quizzes.
[I would be happy to perform this task in return for credit to apply towards course certificates.]
It was unclear exactly how to submit the written projects. I don't think the "attached file method" was functional, and had to cut and paste the text into one of the text boxes before it would appear in the submitted content for review. (and which of the two should it go in?) The first student review that I performed was also lost so I had to do four of them before I could see my marks.
Lastly, the written projects were poorly done. The last one in particular seemed to be more of a gleaning of ideas from the students for future development by the prof. The topic was more IoT and less nanotechnology and Nano sensors. The poor execution of this course makes me re-consider taking part II, even though I am really interested in learning the material.

Honestly , I don't like the course . Also accent of the instructor was difficult for me to catch.

Poor presentation and poorly laid out overall. Stupid method of grading based on peer review.

Thank You for such an interesting and informative course. It contains the up-to-date information and examples on basic concepts of nanotechnology, well-prepared both for students and for graduates. Lectures are conducted in a good, pronounced language.
As a small suggestion I would notice that peer-review system sometimes requests a lot of time and the IoT assignment is quite confusing. It is very interesting to imagine the application of nanosensors but it is quite difficult to connect it with IoT.
I loved this course and advice everyone to complete it with all the diligence and creativity to gain the maximum benefits from it.

The course materials of Nanotechnology and Nanosensing Part 1 were advance, well organized, presented, and up-to-date. I personally found the lectures , videos, quizzes and the assignments both interesting and academic desirable. All the courses provided potential foundation and appetite to learn more, purse, and exploit challenging novel applications. The courses in entity enables strong understanding of nanomaterials and intrinsic properties leading to design and development of nanosensing devices and their phenomenal performances. There is just eager desire to learn furthermore. Thanks for this incredible opportunity.

Course: Nanotechnologies and nanosensors, part 1 I really liked! I'm excited to start part two! Thanks to the lecturer for explaining the material and additional materials. I’ll note another big plus: I watch the subtitles and don’t always have time to read, the lecturer makes short pauses thanks to which you can have time to read all the material. Thank you very much again!

Its a nice experience in learning this course. The course content, e-book, weekly quiz assignments were extraordinarily good. Open-ended assignment and mini-project in a relevant Internet of Things (IoT) application added a feather to this course. In nutshell, this course is an extremely useful course for the basic learners of sensors and its applications in various fields.

It is quite good experiences from this course, specially on the application field of nanotechnology. The course patterns, assignment, project write up and evaluation process are sophistically well maintained throughout the course. Lastly, I want say thanks Prof. Hossam Haick for his extraordinary course content and COUSERA to provide me such a beautiful platform.

I thank Professor Hassam Haick for creating a deep interest and curiosity to learn more about Nano sensors and immediately enrolled for Nanotechnology and Nanosensors-II. Even though working in the area of nano materials, this course opened new doors for conducting research in the area of nano sensors.
Looking forward to complete Part-II to learn more

Indeed an excellent course. The material is very well explained. I would like to note that there are issues with the English caption. I was able to acknowledge the errors due to my knowledge of chemistry. Nevertheless, this course inspired me and was eye-opening. Thank you for making this knowledge accessible.

This course is very beneficial and full of knowledge and many new things to learn. The method is good Sometimes there are certain places where the things are not audible properly and in the notes it is represented as inaudible. So this is the only minor problem that I face.

This is a very detailed course on nanotechnology. One suggestion would be to move the scrolling text of the talk notes to the right side of the video instead of below. Dr. Haick's accent was hard to follow sometimes so I needed to read along to catch the full detail.

I was a great course to learn about this new twchnology and gave me an idea on what is capable with the technology. From someone who had no background in the field it did take more time to understand the concepts but, it was worth it.
