Wonderful course, I enjoyed every second. It opened my eyes to get insight and understand many topics on which I wasn't clear. Completely different to all previous experiences. Would highly recommend.

Loved this course I thought it was a great course for the Introduction to Physics. It was easy enough to understand and Lu had a strong passion for what he was teaching. All in all great course. 10/10

Be clearer with terminology. Exam questions are different scenarios than in the material. Overall liked the course and learned interesting reasons why things happen due to physics.

physics is more about what we experienced day in and out and this course has enlightening me more on what is happening and the effect nature has on it

Very good content but didn't feel like the videos prepared you enough for the quizzes and test.

Värdelös kurs. Hade inte tillgång till nästan något material alls. Fanns ingenting att studera. Saknas material. En 4 minuters video, förslag till läsning, en beskrivning om översättningar av kursen till andra språk, en uppmaning att köpa böcker från Lou Bloomfield med länk till amazon, och övning inför prov med frågor som jag omöjligt kan veta svaret på med tanke på att jag inte fått chansen att studera på grund av att information saknas! Och detta var för vecka 1. Men jag kan ju inte göra prov om jag inte får chansen att lära mig av Lou Bloomfield. Kursen säger sig vara där för att ge grundläggande kunskaper i fysik men jag får inga grundläggande kunskaper här. Finns ingenting att lära sig, ingen information tillgänglig. När jag skulle göra kursen förra gången så registrerade jag mig i classcentral och skulle göra krusen på engelska, men där fanns ännu mindre material, och enbart en summering av huvudpunkter som kommer tas upp i kursen. Tar kanske 30 sekunder eller mindre att läsa summeringen. Gav en stjärna och lämnade en kommentar förra gången med mycket kritik. Nu ger jag en stjärna igen, också med mycket kritik. Jag kanske kommer testa andra kurser här om jag har lust, men om jag finner att alla kurser saknar material då kommer jag lämna denna sida. Jag känner mig väldigt ivrig att lämna denna sida redan nu. Mycket besviken över Coursera.

You allow me to sign up for free, you indicate I am signing up for free, then charge a fee to grade the first quiz??? But of course I can continue listening to subsequent Intro. Physics lectures from UVA.
