Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to Thermodynamics: Transferring Energy from Here to There

I already hold a BSc in Aerospace Engineering but that was achieved several decades ago. Now that I am retired, one of my goals is to revisit the various courses that presented significant "challenges" the first time around. I wish I had Dr. Wooldridge as an instructor when I initially tackled thermodynamics; her presentation is not only straight forward and easily followed, but with a sense of friendliness and encouragement. Of course, what is new to this course is consideration to the impact of energy transfer on global warming. As Dr. Wooldridge suggested, the numbers overwhelmingly support the thesis that humans are forcing climate change. I was very glad to see this section added. It is one thing to know how something works, but another to appreciate the impact it is having on the environment. This turned into a wonderful review of so many things I had forgotten I had forgotten. Thank you.

I really appreciate the number of excercises in this course. This helps me a lot with the theoretical topics that have been explained.

it was very nice experience

good course

Quizzes are too hard and the material is not taught properly.

Un buen curso, a la altura de mis expectativas. El único problema que encontré son los subtítulos. Al activarlos llegan a cubrir parcialmente las imágenes del video y como en repetidas ocasiones aparecen las anotaciones hechas por el profesor, los subtítulos estorban.

great

Definitely have to enroll, basically I knew the ideal gas equation some backgraound in calculus but everything else was new for me. It was an increadible and well organized course, it can be noted that the content in superb, lecturer (Prof. Margaret) knows the topic and shows enthusiasm while teaching. You won't regret it.

it is interesting and useful course . I have learned a lot things . thank you

very informative instructor
