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.

I love the course. Professor Bloomberg makes me love this class. I am glad to take the class with him since I need to learn physics to learn astronomy. Thank you professor Bloomberg.

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.
