He is my favorite professor on MIT OCW!!! I work long hours and I just listen to his playlist lectures. I hope to see more of his video lecture on youtube. Thank you, Dr. Grossman and MIT!!!

He was the first person who made me feel that studying chemistry was fun. Thank you Dr. Grossman and MIT✨

Loving this! Missed out on Chemistry at school. Went on to study electronics but always felt I had a hole in my understanding when materials and semiconductors came up. Just found this series and it's great. Teaching quality has improved immensely since my day, and there was no Internet either. We studied the few books we could afford, did all the labs and talked a lot.

Wow, I wish that my professors were even remotely this motivating. He's so passionate, and it's amazing. Thanks Dr. Grossman!

Wow, he seems like a fun professor...I like how he’s lighting candles and not afraid of burning down the classroom with fires that he created...the example of combustion by lighting up bubbles is so fun and interesting to watch

[adamelias]

11:42 best part. "... transition from knowing how to answer any question to knowing which question to ask."

[lensationally]

the handwriting surprises me everytime

[jgibson]

Around 9:00 this is good. 10:36 we’re all-into it.

[buddatobi]

On the slide it should say propane C3H8 as well as in the equation 22:40. H4H10 is butane...

I feel smart for pointing this out.

No disrespect to Prof. Grossman, but Prof. Don Sadoway remains unbeatable.
