Hello, I’m new to CC. I’m going to be a junior in the fall, and I plan on majoring in physics. However, the physics teacher at my school is terrible! He’s the only AP physics teacher at my school and AP physics 1 my sophomore year was pointless. I want to know if I should skip physics 2 and instead take physics C this year. That would open up room my senior year for classes like AP Statistics. Also, how useful would AP statistics be for a physics major? I heard the statistics teacher at my school is pretty good.
Assuming that you have already taken calculus, or will be this year, then yes, you should take Physics C instead of Physics 2. Physics 2 is pretty pointless is you are planning to be a physics major.
Thanks for the advice!
