How do you guys handle studying something like a physics course and a calculus course or maybe something more advanced than that? How long should you spend on either course, or even managing time for multiple courses at the same time in a single semester?
Yeah, I could explain. And the textbook helped very little because the problems we do are more complicated than what the example problems offered in the textbook. Maybe it's good for a better understanding of some topics, but that's about it. The homework was also too easy. I worked at least 30...
I personally don't rely on dropped test scores, I was just answering someone else's question. I wouldn't want to get by with free grades, I know that wouldn't help me understand the material.
Yeah I've been thinking hard on it lately. A part of me wants to just get it over with and work like hell to get a B, but that's a huge change and I personally don't think that's going to magically happen. Not realistic at the moment. I'm going to wait until summer to take it again so that's all...
I don't cram, I know it hardly works and I would be so tired when I go to class to take a test that morning that I would feel terrible and not be able to focus very well. I did struggle with calculus 1 back when I took it, and it didn't help that I had a professor that was not so great. I worked...
I'm majoring in electrical engineering, currently attending a community college where I've been studying for almost 2 years now. I plan on transferring eventually.
I'm currently taking introductory physics along with a few other classes, and doing well in all of them except physics.
We just received our second tests graded, and it's not looking good for me. I did terrible, and I talked with my professor after class about my chances if I stayed. I would...
I think I should clarify, its not that we're being tested on anything involving material beyond calculus 1, he just likes to go over some things involving what I've mentioned when it's relevant. We only have to deal with it when we're working on labs sometimes. I just want to improve my studying...
Well, he's shown us line integrals and partial derivatives several times. I asked him about why he believes we should wait until we finish calculus 3, and he said something along the lines of calculus 3 giving a good foundation in concepts like the motion of particles, curvature, etc.
No, it's just basic derivatives and integrals but we've been doing things like line integrals even though that's taught in calculus 3. But for the most part we end up doing more algebra.
