Excellent introductory lectures. I learned alternative ways of presenting this material and corrected some details from self study.

For the quizzes, it would be nice if they were problem based questions, and we could use some of the equations to calculate for a final answer. Otherwise concepts were good.

Reviewed Apr 23, 2022I don't like when they say "simple", beacuse when your new to a subject, everything seems very complex. There was one video that was incomplete. There is no feedback or response from the creators of the course

Reviewed Oct 4, 2022I thought the course spent too much time on formulas without providing the students a way to use those formulas to see the results and how they worked. Providing data for students would have been appreciated. Then, we students could have applied the formulas tosee their results.
