Loved this course I thought it was a great course for the Introduction to Physics. It was easy enough to understand and Lu had a strong passion for what he was teaching. All in all great course. 10/10

Wonderful course, I enjoyed every second. It opened my eyes to get insight and understand many topics on which I wasn't clear. Completely different to all previous experiences. Would highly recommend.

An excellent course by an excellent professor! Professor Bloomfield is passionate and enthusiastic about his work. The real life demonstrations with everyday objects made understanding the science of physics so easy and accessible. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting to gain a better understanding of the world around them.

Thank you very much for conducting such vertual courses in all fields of Knowlege and as far as I acquired from the Introduction to Physics, the way of presentating of the course was very interesting that could enhance visulizing physical concepts rather than to be overvelmed by long mathmatics calculations.
Best regards,

Really enjoyed the course. I am at novice at online courses but experienced in general study courses. The lecturer really makes the course material interesting with real life scenarios and his energetic approach. Really enjoyed the course and if time allows it would like to consider taking the follow up. Thank You LOU!!

Amazing course by Professor Louis Bloomfield. It gives you an thorough insight about the physics behind everyday operations such as skateboarding, riding a seesaw and riding a bicycle / driving a car. Kudos to the Professor, University of Virginia and Coursera for brining us this content full of value FREE OF COST!

Thank you Professor for explaining physics in such an interesting format. The concepts were made fairly easy to grasp and the numerous demonstrations you made to explain the laws of motion helped a lot. Thank you for the effort you put in such a great course. I'm deeply indebted for your invaluable contribution.

Learning physics through real-life scenarios and objects makes the difficult concepts palatable and increased my conceptual understanding of key physics topics which will be key for my GAMSAT study. I loved the interactive ways the Professor taught us the information and the level of effort put into this course.

The course is so well explained by examples, as rightly said by Albert Einstein "examples isn't the another way of teaching, examples is the only way of teaching"
I learned, how, when and where to apply which law of physics with this. Thank your very much coursera and the resourceful persons attached with it

Very useful course as an introduction to how things work. Louis Bloomfield is fantastic. The enthusiasm and way he explains things are a credit to him and the university. If only all teachers/lecturers/instructors could be as enthusiastic and animated! Thanks for providing this course. Where is part two?

Thank you, Lou, for an extremely interesting and informative course. I enjoyed it, and would like to see it continue. You have a way of explaining things for the non-physics-major that FINALLY makes all this sink in. I'm happy to understand the world around me a little better -- it's even helped with a few

As an eleven year old I found this course very interesting. it was clear and I was able to understand the main topics and key facts. the videos were also fun with outdoor activities and real life questions in between. Mr. Louis A. Bloomfield was a great instructor and I really loved the course over all.

Fun. However, I heard that the good video should be less than 6 minutes ( I forgot the reference, I mean, from the research). Perhaps next time, would Be better to divide all the contents into multiple videos. Otherwise, it’s very boring ðŸ˜ðŸ˜‚😂. But thanks to professor Bloomfield, it is also fun.

I just retired after 53 years of teachinf at Gettysburg College. I knew little or no Physics. I though you did ann excellent job. Wth minimal effort ( just attending to lectures ) I did learn enough to past the course. I still don't know much but I enjoyed watching you work. Good job!

A uniqe opportunity for people who do not have science / engineering backgrounds to understand basic physics concepts.
Prof. Bloomfield is amazing in explaining supposedly complicated topics with absolute clarity and passion.
One of the best course I have ever taken. Look forward to part 2!

This class was great!! I realized in the beginning how out of touch I had become with normal Physics, by the end it ALL came back and I easily passed the Final. Professor Bloomfield was a fun instructor to watch and did his best to help you understand with every day items and situations!

This is a great course, sometimes in the college you do not understand some things, some concepts that are easy but sometimes in school the proffesors are not able to communicate the idea.
I will recommend this course to all people who enjoy to learn how things work.
Sorry about my English

What an amazing course! the teacher have a huge passion about Physics and to teach about it, he shows that in class and make you have the same feeling by explaining everything in an easy, fun and dynamic way! I cant wait to see the second part of this course... I even bought his book!

I just loved this course and I'm amazed how Sir Louis has put too much effort in making this course. I want to congratulate him on this remarkable achievement. Whoaa! Thank you for this. I truly have learned a lot more about Physics and I want more seasons! Waiting for next seasons!

I struggled with physics mightily in high school and did terribly on the initial assessment, but this course was really fun and explained physics in a way that I can understand. I learned a lot about "how things work" and would love to take a class with Professor Bloomfield again.

Really concise coverage of basic physics content! Great for people looking for an overview of physics without getting overly involved with mathematical calculations and super complex theory. Great instructor who clearly knew what he was doing and was excited about the material.

I loved it, this course was engaging throughout and I actually tested out a lot of experiments shown by the professor. The quizzes were pretty captivating and allured me through the course. The scope of this program really helped me out with my high school curriculum as well.

He's such an amazing teacher, I'm not a native english speaker, however I was able to follow the class without subtitles because his pronutiation is clear and fluent. I highly recommend that you take this course to learn about Mechanical Physics applied to the real world

The course is excellent for a physics introduction. It provides a good starting point while not being overwhelming or boring, a perfect equilibrium. The concepts were easily understandable due to the practical explanations and demonstrations with everyday objects.

A great course overall. Even for me that has little attention span, this course was able to pique my interests. The lessons are entertaining and fun. The course was able to explain so that even people that has little to no background of physics would understand it.
