<p>I was wondering if there are any colleges/services/websites/etc. that provide an instructor-based course on physics over the summer. I know I could self study by reading a book, but I just can't seem to concentrate. I read like 3 pages, and then I doze off. Don't get me wrong, I like physics, but the literature of the textbook bores me to death. I believe I can learn best if I had a tutor or instructor. </p>
<p>Note: I cannot attend summer session at community college due to unforseen circumstances. I have prior knowledge of single-variable calculus. I have prior knowledge of algebra-based mechanics.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!!! :)
Oh yeah, I have checked out the MIT lectures, but, I really need tutor. Badly. . .</p>
<p>Really… i don’t know how else to go about this other than MIT lectures… they are so interesting. (i went over like all of physics I and II over spring break… wow my brain was blow every day)</p>
<p>MIT Open courseware, I really don’t know where else to go … [Free</a> Online Course Materials | Courses | MIT OpenCourseWare](<a href=“http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/courses/courses/index.htm#Physics]Free”>http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/courses/courses/index.htm#Physics)</p>
<p>Do physics I and II, with Walter Lewin, awesome teacher.
Math might be hard to follow unless you have solid background in BC, but hey… its free.
I’ve been doing all my AP physics studying from this course, hopefully… something good will happen in 4 days? hahaha</p>
<p>Stanford has EPGY online… and there are few other legit online course places, but do you really want to pay them so much money when you can just study on your own?</p>
<p>I guess you’re right. I’m just going to watch the MIT lectures, however, I need to read the text so I can <em>solve</em> physics problems as well. Reading a physics book is really boring, I would like. . . a discussion group of some sort. I learn by reading, listening<em>, and doing work</em>. But this makes it easier with a teacher I can communicate with.</p>
<p>I know JHU offers a “distance education” option for gifted HS students and AP Physics/Physics Honors is one of the courses it offers.</p>
<p>Thank you ninmage621, but I have learned something recently. Self studying involves solving problems, so I decided that I will devote the majority of time doing just that. Reading to learn how to solve those problems will be my objective.
That way I won’t be wasting time.</p>
