<p>I am taking summer school right now, and I am getting served by Physics. Has anyone else had this problem?</p>
<p>Just thought I'd share. :) I hope everyone's summer is going well.</p>
<p>Most people have one type of physics that they do well at, then do not do as well in the other semester. Typical breakdown is Newtonian Physics is first semester, and Electromagnetism and Light/Optics taught second semester.</p>
<p>I am awesome at Newtonian physics and plainly suck with the rest. Perhaps you also have a set of topics you do better in.</p>
<p>Heh - I have very-publicized struggles with organic chemistry.</p>
<p>I'm taking physics now too. My recommendation is do examples, lots and lots of examples. Do the same ones over and over again and figure out how to do it and why you should do it that way. If you learn to derive the stuff you need to do you will understand it way better. But for physics since I am an engineering major and have already done it in my engineering classes (funny isnt it, I'm taking it yet I've already used it in other classes) the one thing I have always found that has worked is beat the same examples and problems to death. Understand every little tidbit and you will do fine, and know the process of figuring it out.</p>
<p>Spikedsoymilk,</p>
<p>make sure you WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN. The importance of this practice in your finding a problem's solution can't be over emphasized. When you do a problem, start out be drawing a diagram, and labeling it with all givens. Make sure you know all equations inside out, so that when you encounter a problem with a few 'missing' numbers, you'll know what to plug into what....</p>
<p>Never look at the solutions without at least trying the aforementioned one or two times, and then if you still 'don't get it'--go ahead and look. And then try to understand and remember what you did wrong.</p>
<p>Mastering Physics, is somewhat like trying to master piano: it takes tons of practice, and even then you're still never perfect. But never ever stop tryin!</p>
<p>wuts the difference between physics and physics for life sciences?</p>
<p>CHECK OUT THESE SITES...especially Physics Classroom. I used them to study for my final and they explained EVERYTHING. I understood EVERYTHING!!! Have fun! lol</p>
