<p>Labs? MP hw? examples from the book? or past midterms?</p>
<p>Elby’s Portable TA helped a lot; lots of challenging problems.</p>
<p>I found homeworks and labs most useful. The labs usually guide you in deriving the formulas so you get an idea how it works. The homeworks you learn how to apply the formulas and use certain techniques to solve problems.</p>
<p>Thanks. Also can people write their professor’s names? Thank you!</p>
<p>Sleep helps a lot.</p>
<p>Yeah people at Berkeley tend not to sleep. haha i definitely do though!</p>
<p>Being talented, but doing challenging problems is a close second. A good place to find hard problems are old midterms, but they don’t necessarily have to come from there.</p>
<p>Yes, just keep doing problems. The concepts in physics aren’t too difficult but you need to learn how to problem solve.</p>
<p>Practice midterms are always good because they are the types of questions you should expect on your midterm in terms of difficulty.
If you are trying to learn the concepts, try the Elby portable TA. The explanations provided make since.</p>
