you are better than my joke of a professor, who simply throws anything at us without enough explanation. He doesn't really care if we understand the material either.

[nickydice15]

You Are AWESOME!!!!

You need to teach man!!!

[babysabrinaify]

it would have taken me a month or two to understand this(or NEVER) if i didn't find ur vids thnx so much!!!!! i have never understood physics so clearly in less than a month or year!

[haloguy416]

And watching ALL of this just made me understand vectors.... Thank you!

[nerdof2013]

wow what my horrible teacher has spent a week trying to teach us you have taught me clearly in 10 minutes! thank you thank you thank you!

[yehlingboy]

i wonder what shampoo he uses

[bluexbutton]

Love this!!

[Abdulra7manAlghamdi]

don't worry if u don't know the Pythagorean theorem. don't worry if u can't get the length of the side. don't worry if u can't figure out the degree of the angle. :D u r awesome lol thumb up

[ydelg014fiu]

God made the heavens and the Earth, then he made FREELANCETACH!! Thank you so much!! You are 1000000000x better than nay of my physics professors ar FIU!

[Bryden15McNamara]

I just paused the video and kissed your face, I'm a straight male!

[weststep]

You are my hero! Thank you so much :)

"clever"...
