From my personal experience, it's fricking awesome.

The current format of teaching has a gaming style.Watch and share your thoughts.

I think it's an awesome idea and initiative.

I've known about this site for a little while now. I've used it numerously when it came to understanding physics. So it's definitely a really resourceful tool. I recommend it to all.

Of course, I've come along this as well, which I highly recommend too:

"A collection of basic science lessons about physics in everyday life. Why does a curve ball curve? Why does ice float? What's the perfect way to cook egg custard? How do CDs and DVDs work? Why don't your legs break when you jump off a chair? What keeps a moving bicycle from falling over? These questions involve physical principles that relate not only to interesting aspects of our daily lives, but also explain such phenomena as the cause of hurricanes, the formation of neutron stars, the ability of water to dissolve different substances, and other fundamental features of reality.

Therefore, this course that explores the physics of everyday events is not just informative and fun, it has the potential to lead to a deeper understanding of the universe.

But it takes a superb teacher to make these connections to start with a nuts-and-bolts description of how a refrigerator works and end up with a profound insight into the ultimate fate of the cosmos.

Professor Richard Wolfson of Middlebury College is the ideal teacher to take you on this journey. The New York Times praised him as "absolutely stellar" in his Teaching Company course on modern physics, Einstein's Relativity and the Quantum Revolution: Modern Physics for Non-Scientists. Now he brings the same enthusiasm to "everyday" physics, dealing with our basic understanding of the physical world as it applies to commonplace technologies and natural phenomena.

and this series ... 'Modern Physics For Non-Scientists (24 Lectures)'

These are accessible to everyone, have no math content and are wonderfully explained.

listening in class became outdated once I found out about Khan Academy. He teaches better than most of my professors.

Wow thank you for this Black Sheep! :) I will have sex with you to return the favor.

some people I have met have recommended this guy to me:

I still prefer Khan Academy, but you may prefer him. He only provides lessons in chemistry and physics, with a few in math and biology. His teaching is aimed toward pre-medical students and the MCAT.
