I found this an exceptionally easy course to get into. If only this method of teaching had been around when I was a full time student. I am sure I would have gone further.

I'm a secondary school teacher of physics, and I've got and collected a lot of new ideas of approaching things. I will use them in my teaching practice.

Thanks, professor! :)

This is my first course so i don't actually have experience enough to give an expert opinion, even so i think it would have been great if some calculus topics were inclued.
