I loved this lecture! Everything was so well explained: simple, straightforward, and I especially love few external tidbits thrown in such as the meteorite portion. It helps to remember these facts. Thank you!
this video is short and easy to understand. Thanks Teacher
No explanation at all just reading , sorry for that , No interaction
two stars just for the effort. But its ore like reading fro book. Nothing different. Very boring. No interaction.
