Great introduction to Physics. I use the concepts taught in this course frequently in everyday life. Professor Bloomfield explains concepts very clearly without getting overly mathematical.

This is the only physics course I have taken that made sense and that I had fun with! I am looking forward to a How Things Work 2 with lots of funny and comprehensible demonstrations.

К сожалению, не смогла насладиться курсом в полной мере из-за его некоторой несвоевременности в контексте моего образования. Даже если он промаркирован как "продвинутый уровень", то всё равно стоило чуть больше ознакомиться с предлагаемым материалом и понять, что это всё уже было услышано не один раз и даже не два. Но порой повторение -- это тоже неплохая вещь. Думаю, что для школьника 9-10 класса, что только впервые знакомится с классической механикой курс будет крайне полезен и интересен. Либо для студентов первых курсов технических(ну и, вообще говоря, любых) вузов, что хотят больше поговорить о сути вещей, нежели об интегрировании. Также предостерегу надеющихся на русские субтитры -- они хороши только на первых двух видео, а далее переходят в "енот палка копать", так что пришлось перейти на английскую версию.

It's a good introduction to physics but still there were few moments I had to watch some other videos or read some articles to understand the topic fully (or at least the parts you are supposed to understand).
As someone with german as mothertongue, the course didn't only give me a better understanding of "how things work" I also learned terms I already knew before but not in english.
Most of the time, Mr. Bloomfield explained the things very carefully and in my opinion slowly wich actually is a good thing because you also have the possibility to watch the video for 1.25 or 1.5 times the speed.
I wouldn't call these videos "professional" but I appreciate the effort Mr. Bloomfield has put in this course and I recommand it for beginners.

Great course! The instructor is funny and engaging.
One major disappointment is that the graded assignments are inaccessible unless you pay to earn a verified certificate. I do not like the idea of being forced to provide an ID and set up a webcam. That should be optional for those who want a certificate and not penalize those who are taking it just for the enjoyment of learning. I am only allowed to access the videos.
