User Feedback
I cannot possibly thank you enough for such brilliant lectures (by Prof. Walter Lewin) on the subject of
electricity and magnetism and classical mechanics. They have helped me greatly to develop and consolidate
my understanding of the topics, since the teaching carried out in school was not as comprehensive and
lacked so many of the brilliant experiments carried out.
- Student - High School, Australia
The reason that I am writing to you is to thank you for the amazing content that you have posted on OCW for
the public in general. While only the best can be a part of MIT, it is more than a dream to have an
opportunity to hear or learn from the talent that MIT is. To be honest, with a bad academic record and a very
high college fee, I never had the hope of getting through a good school in order to correct the mistakes that I
committed in my graduation. So I took up a job in IT. Apparently, not every one gets a second chance in life.
But still I had the desire to learn more. Thanks to you, I have the opportunity to learn and improve my
knowledge. My dreams have come true. Thank you so much.
- Self Learner, India
I just wanted to say thank you. There are so many things that can be missed in a standard course of study,
and you are empowering people and allowing them to broaden their understanding and views of the world.
This is a really great and caring thing to do.
