I was sweating until the very end when he said REMEMBER - DO NOT CONSIDER THE MEMBERS YOU DON'T CUT. Jeff, you solved about 10 years of me hating this method with that statement. I've always screwed that up and over-complicated my problems.

Hey Jeff, i wanna take this moment to thank you for teaching me statics. I didn’t know what’s going on in my statics class until my friend recommended me to watch your videos. Here I am at 4Am watching them for my final which is at 7AM. Whatever grade I get, it’s because of you, sir!!! Merci pour toutes 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[LeonKarni]

Hey Jeff, great videos! Really clear and personally, they l have helped me out a lot. So thank you!
You have a small mistake at the end of the video Calculating HE (should be 3.54 or(2.5/sin(45)= 2.5*2/√2) not 3.34) this means that DE is an even 12 not 11.86)
Hope this is helpful. Keep up the good work.

I never understand anything in class buy you are always my last hope and you never disappoint. Thank you for clearing all my confusions sir

[alizekazmi]

I cannot begin to thank you!!! you might not read these but seriously, without a professor like you, I wouldn't be able to pass this class!! thank you!! truly.

[farahaltanany]

I literally love you. I'm an architecture student and we have required structure classes that are kicking my BUTT. thank you for these videos they make my life so much easier !!!

[TheEntorm]

I am seriously so thankful to you Mr.Hanson, my static teacher is probably the worst teacher I've encountered and teaches everything hard for no reason. Times like these where I wish good teachers like you would be more common

[eliot]

Studying for the FE rn and this has been very helpful as a refresher. Thank you.

[sarahtarbox]

Your videos are SO helpful! I'm a high school teacher who hasn't taken a statics class since 2009, and when I started getting ready to add an engineering endorsement to my teaching certificate, I realized how much stuff I had forgotten! I wish you had been on YouTube back when I was in engineering school!

[undeada-man]

Thank you so much for these videos. I'm not kidding when I say that watching these last two have taught me more than my statics teacher has in 3 months.

[kevmcc]

I want his autograph. The reason I'm going to pass statics! Appreciate all your help.

[JordanlPearce]

I don't leave comments but I've been sweating this topic and you're making me a lot more comfortable on it and easy to understand!

[jaydenogilvie]

thanks so much for your contagious enthusiasm and for continually making my life easier with your memory tools and excellent teaching skills, definitely going to be the only reason I pass this class. :)

3.34kip for HE should be 3.54kip, and DE should be 12kip.

I just started methods off sections and this video summed 6subchapters very well. Thank you so much
