This great job has a great influence to me. It helps to understand study process and gives entire view how
teachers present the material. It also strengthens my language level and confirms my assumption that all
academic disciplines are approximately the same as i had. Thanks a lot again.

This morning I was complaining about how much better my time running would be if I had something
educational to listen to; as it was, an hour of running was spent listening to music, which often left me bored.
After spending a few hours looking for free audio education, I gave up. Then, I plugged in my iPod, and
noticed this new section, "iTunes U". Tears came to my eyes as I saw exactly what I was looking for; courses
on university level Biology, Chemistry, computers sciences... I would like to give my most sincere thanks to
whoever has made it possible for me to receive this education for free. I've heard how much it costs people to
attend these courses, and I know very well that I could never afford to. To have this made available free of
charge, and in the comfort of my own home... I have no words to give you thanks. God bless you and your
staff.

I'd like to express my appreciation on this site. It is a very helpful tool to us college students who finds the
daily lectures in our schools to be inefficient. Because of this site I passed my calculus and physics subjects
which also boost my interest on the subjects and courses, especially those concerning the engineering field.
thank you and more power to this site. thank you very much MIT-OCW!
