How can I teach physics better?

Answer:

(1) Teach with the same passion and clarity and humor Richard Feynman displays in this acclaimed 7-part lecture series.

(2) Insist your students watch the lecture series themselves.

Feynman is pure charisma in this series: he’s masterful, passionate, funny and articulate–and very, very likeable.
