I was wondering why my thread was moved from College HW to K-12 HW. I'm a sophomore in college and this is calc-based college physics HW.

The problem was really simple.Actually I'm amazed myself of how simple some of the problems in college HW forum are.Some of them are too simple for high school,even...
Daniel.
:rofl: I like the way you said that! They're all easy until you make a mistake, aren't they?ibnuts said:Yes, it was a simple problem that I complicated by making a mistake.
FWIW, that HW moderator has not yet pulled any ropes.Moonbear said:FWIW, one of the HW moderators is new to moderating and is still learning the ropes. It might have been an accident of moving the wrong post.
Hehe, blame the newbie mentor.Gokul43201 said:FWIW, that HW moderator has not yet pulled any ropes.

That really is not why most threads are moved and should not be taken that way. It is not that the poster made a mistake, but the moderator feels that more beneficial replies will come from the new location. There should have been a link in the original forum to the new location though so that it could easily be found.learningphysics said:The move of a thread indirectly tells the poster "you screwed up something here. you posted in the wrong place".
I have a tendency to do that.. but always find out in time when I don't see any quote bracketsEvo said:Just wait until you go to post a reply and accidently hit "edit" and you totally erase the member's post by accident and it can't be retrieved. (not that I've ever done that)

:rofl: Now I suddenly understand someone's comment in a thread long ago about making it quote-proof or edit-proof or something like that...was it Chroot or Tom Mattson maybe who replied that they've learned to copy and paste to quote instead? (Oh, no, now it sounds like I've memorized all the PF posts...isn't that scary? Actually, I know it had to have been a male moderator who made the comment, because I have a natural tendency to store away anything men say that I might be able to use against them in an argument later. ) Though I still don't know what they did to make it edit-proof.Evo said:Just wait until you go to post a reply and accidently hit "edit" and you totally erase the member's post by accident and it can't be retrieved.

ibnuts said:Thanks for all the replies. The reason I was upset was because it did make me feel like I had done something wrong.
Also, if the college HW usuallly is only for problems that require diff eqs then almost my entire class wouldn't be considered college physics. Then again, there are people in the class that had AP physics and are still having to work hard at it. So, I still feel there is a difference between college calc-based physics and even AP/High School Physics.

Beats me why your thread was moved, but please don't take it personally!ibnuts said:I was wondering why my thread was moved from College HW to K-12 HW. I'm a sophomore in college and this is calc-based college physics HW.
There could be a few reasons for this. One possible explanation is that the college curriculum is becoming more focused on specialized courses, leaving less room for general education classes like physics. Another reason could be to better prepare students for college by introducing them to physics concepts earlier on.
It is possible that the difficulty or content of the homework may change. College-level physics may involve more complex equations and concepts, while K-12 physics may focus more on basic principles and hands-on experiments. However, this may vary depending on the specific curriculum and teacher.
It is difficult to say for certain as every college and university has their own requirements and expectations. However, exposure to physics concepts at an earlier age can help students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are valuable in college and beyond.
This change may vary depending on the school, district, or state. Some schools or districts may have already implemented this change, while others may not have. It is best to check with your local education authorities or school to see if this change applies to you.
There are many resources available to help students with K-12 physics homework, including textbooks, online tutorials, and educational apps. Additionally, students can seek help from their teachers, peers, or tutors if they are struggling with understanding a concept or completing an assignment.
