Wasteful past 6 months of Online University STATICS class, I've learned more from your channel than those 6 months.

Watched a lot of videos to learn all sorts of stuff Uni fails to teach. Ive never ever been more impressed with an explanation before, truely, this is awesome. beyond words.

[JakeVoorhees]

Yikes this is some of the stuff that used to mess me up in college. Thanks for all that you do for the community man!!

[mrslatt]

Really shouldn't have missed my lecture on second moment of area. Thanks a lot you saved me!

I'm a civie student in college and even though I'm a pretty good student I don't know if I'd be in as good a situation without you. At the moment I'm at a 3.7 cumulative GPA as a junior in my undergrad. Your videos have been invaluable to me and I don't think I would be able to choose the masters programs I am applying for without your help, so thank you.

I have my mechanics of solids exam tomorrow, and you really helped me in this issue. Hope that I will pass the exam. Wish me luck.

[andrewa]

You're the reason I'm passing class

I can't thank you enough for this video. You have no idea how helpful this was.

just start from introduction of centriod in the statics part and learn the very basic concepts, then i fully understand what is going on when i come back to this video. Now i am confident about my physics

Hi! First of all, I'm using your videos to study, and I've got to say, they're absolutely amazing!
Just a question, what software do you use to write these notes? I have been looking for a good digital note-taking software for a while now, and what you are using seems pretty good.
Edit:
For all those future engineers out there, just know that although it's difficult, you can do whatever you put your mind to. I failed every math and science exam in high school, but I'm doing exceptionally well in college, acing my mathematics and engineering courses! You just need to push yourself. Engineering won't be easy, but I guarantee it will be worth it :)
Push yourself, no matter how hard it may seem, and only then will you see results that make you realize it was all worth it

Thanks for taking time to clear this complicated information up. In class it is not explained very well.

I originally found this video when I took statics, now I am rewatching it when I am taking mechanics and materials, so I am now subscribed.

[MrAZCJ]

Legend tbh there isn’t a better Channel that explains this well

[rachelallinson]

Thank you for saving my statics grade 🙏

[sekolahonlineteknikotomotif]

"Orray gaes welkombek tu dis video.."
I like your style of teaching 👍

[animeworldacademy]

im having an exam later, Wish me luck dude, thanks forball of your videos, it helps me alot

[АлександрЕршов-ну]

Need more people so spread this video more

[bandicootalexyuemindovermu]

Wow this physics I haven’t took this kind of maths heard from my lecturer is primary school maths. Not like calculus. But have to understand the concept and learn how to read shapes.

[maxtop]

you are the savior my friend i love you !!

Thank you so much for this video!! 😭😭😭
