About the Course

This first course serves as an introduction to the physics of electricity and magnetism. Upon completion, learners will understand how mathematical laws and conservation principles describe fields and how these fields are related to electrical circuits. Learners will gain experience in solving physics problems with tools such as graphical analysis, algebra, vector analysis, and calculus. This first course covers Charge, Electric Forces, and Electric Fields. Each of the three modules contains reading links to a free textbook, complete video lectures, conceptual quizzes, and a set of homework problems. Once the modules are completed, the course ends with an exam. This comprehensive course is similar in detail and rigor to those taught on-campus at Rice. It will thoroughly prepare learners for their upcoming introductory physics courses or more advanced courses in physics....

Professor Hafner is one of the best instructors i've ever had, from the explanations of derivations to the numerous demos and the occasional jokes, it has been a great experience.

I planned to take this course as a review to tutor my son in Physics. The lecture and demonstration in class gave me much more than a quick review. Prof Hafner made the topic very interesting. I have learned a deeper understanding and appreciation of E Field (lines and flux).

Thanks so much,

I enjoyed this course very much : it provided me with some deep understanding of electric phenomena, and with plenty of opportunities to put this understanding to the test.

Cons: This course is really great but there are a lot of things lacking. There are few issues for example most of the time the assignments has typo and wrong answers. I recomment to look into forum when doing assignment. From week 2 there will be a lot of mistakes in assignments. The forum is very passive and that's one issue that instructor should improve. There are so many mistakes in homework that it should be given free.

Pros: I like the instructor does some creative experiments I LOVE it( He seems to be very passionate about it). The books are great resource and I recommend to read it and take notes. The quality of teaching is above average and very beginner friendly.

When the homework will be fixed I will rate 5 stars :). Thanks for creating the course.

Curso muy interesante. Me costó bastante entender los conceptos. Tareas y exámenes me han hecho sudar. En muchas ocasiones por no imaginar bien el problema y la pregunta(por ejemplo, contestaba en Coulomb, cuando se pedía contestar en micro Coulomb (insistentemente no leía bien). Problema con las notaciones: escribir las potencias, por ejemplo 10 al cubo. Nunca pude expresarlo con exp ( ), La única forma fue escribir resultados tipo 0.00000000034.

Gracias al profesor que es muy ameno, pero siendo español, a veces no entendía exactamente lo enseñado. Continuare siguiendo cursos con este profesor.

Fundamentally strong course. But I faced little difficulty while entering scientific notations there's was no tool available and no instructions in some questions.

Some technical issues with the homework submission parsing, and sometimes you said Micro Coulombs but used normal.
