I thoroughly enjoyed this course as prof was clear, slow-paced, and highly entertaining as well. Thank you prof for this course and I hope many others will get to learn physics at home!

great course. I like how he explains the things and bases each module off of a real life object instead of some dumb extremely advanced calculus concept. That made it more fun to watch and learn.
