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.

I really liked how physics was presented. It was made less intimidating and vey educational. It's the first time I had a fun time in class while learning a lot ever since I started high school.

tremendous efforts done by the Professor, not only for students but also for the parent who really wish to impart the practical knowledge of basics of physics to their children!!!Thanks a lot.
