Do you think using MITs OCW physics will give me an advantage in high school physics?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I plan to take a physics class in high school next year, but science is my weak spot. If I use MITs Open Course ware "Physics I: Classic Mechanics" class like 30 minutes a day during the summer, do you think I should be able to do well in High school physics?</p>

<p>I don’t really think that’s necessary…those are college lectures from MIT. I did okay in high school physics and those lectures just confused me.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t think so. I’ve watched some of them and the professor just moves too fast and assumes lots of knowledge. It’s good for MIT students but I don’t think it would be ideal for someone learning physics the first time.</p>

<p>Edit:
From your other posts it looks like you haven’t taken precalculus yet. The MIT videos assume a strong foundation in calculus, which you apparently haven’t taken yet. So the videos will probably confuse you more than they will help you.</p>
