You are such a wonderful person to post these videos.

[fbrulzthecastle]

Man you saved my life with these videos, now i can pass my test. And i don't have to try and study the drone of my boring physics teacher. Thank you soooo much

[PrincessVee94]

@Buttzy89

your comment cracked me up . haha

[lizihao1130]

wow every word u say is important and helps to understand these stuff, thx!!!

[Buttzy89]

I LOVE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!!!! THANKYOOOU

[Johannson6990]

I am paying $500+ for my Physics class, Yet watching these videos I have learned more from you than my Teacher......who happens to have a PhD in Physics. It disgusts me that that money isn't going to you. Thank you sir, very much.

[idiotsxmakexbadxvids]

i really wish u where my teacher cus mine is a DUMBASS! ur awesome! I havent seen all the stuff u cover in ur videos but I wish it would be everything included in my class! thanks for the awesome videos and making me feel a little more hopeful about passing!!!!!!!



[yehlingboy]

thanks ! these videos help me out so much.. i just can't pay attention in class..but on Youtube I can pause and rewind as much as i like :) plus you're way easier to understand than my physics teacher

[soleenwo]

I LOVE YOU!!! <3! ...no homo.

[Someonewhocanteach]

wow Someone who can actually teach! wow!

[ydelg014fiu]

Thumps up if these videos kick your professors in their butt!! Thank you!

[quiquemoranmoyano]

sometimes I get tired of him describing all the minute details and then I remember that, this is the reason I'm here, to learn all those details. So I am glad he describes everything. Great teaching! why, oh why, can't my professor be as thorough?
