"Six Easy Pieces ... not all that easy. My husband says I'm not smart enough to understand physics. Although I don't think that's entirely true, I will admit to some difficulties in following Feynman. I guess the low rating is more for me than for the professor!"
"I'm a big fan of Feinman's teaching method. He focuses on understanding the basic principles that lead to the more interesting observations of nature. You don't need any math, or really any previous science background, to understand the gist of these lectures and yet some of the topics broached are deep and profound. Each of the six lectures can be easily read in under an hour and appreciated for the rest of the day!"
"The first pieces are easy and articulate. The rest of the pieces aren't very well-explained, if you ask me...someone who has read her share of "Physics for dummies" books. Try Asimov. He's better."
"This is the best physics lecturer ever, in his own environment, in the lecture hall. Brilliant, energetic, creative, and entertaining . . . he's a performer as well as being a Nobel Prize winning genius."
