Hello Mr. Derek Owens. You know what, if you were my Physics teacher, I would have had a smooth time with the subject. You are such a great teacher, and I learn more from your 10-minute videos more than I learn from my 1-hour Physics class everyday. I hope you continue to post more videos, so I will have a REAL physics teacher for all my topics throughout the year. :)

Thank you so much. I' ve been having a hard time with the shell method and you videos were really helpful.

I'm studying for the MCATs and your videos have been a great help! I've had two different physics professors and your lectures are by far much easier to learn from. You should sell these if you haven't already.

I'm currently studying for my Electrical D-License and am using your presentations to brush up on my theory. So very helpful, except for the fact you guys don't use 240V like we do! Haha. Thankyou for your help!

I suggest you publish your methods and sell seminars to universities and schools so that teachers from all fields can benefit from your exceptionally high quality presentations. Very impressive work!
