There is no one method. Just as there is no one method for teaching. Your learning style will heavily flavor your ideal study practices. The instructor's teaching style will marginally influence it as well though. One tool that I find few people know about, but is almost universally...

1. I don't precisely recall poor communication being previously mentioned, but this is a vague statement, so I will assume it is mostly venting about something that has built up for a while. 2. This is quite impossible for almost any subject. I imagine that your book itself was too much...

$10-$20 is reasonable if you are tutoring someone who is in a class. Adding explanation to points they do not understand, helping figure out where they are stuck on problems assigned for homework, and assisting in study for exams. If you are doing the full instruction, developing lesson plans...

The thing is, you are in a science course. Not an engineering or history course. In a philosophy class, you would have similar. They would cover the concepts and ideas of a major philosophy, then on a test would have you write an essay translating a scenario in the context of the...

Look in your book for something called the "right hand rule" and see if that clears up your confusion about direction/charge. The field lines are defined by the "X" symbols. That means the field lines point into the screen/paper. Field lines are drawn from North to South outside of a magnet...

I went through a BS in Physics and then got my masters on the way toward a PhD. Decided that I did not want to be a research Physicist, nor teach at a non-research University. So High School looked like the right road for me. I dropped from the PhD program and swapped over to education. I...

The arrows, as Berkeman said, show you the path that the charges move along as time progresses. So, what causes an object to curve? Changing direction means a change in velocity, so an acceleration. You cannot accelerate without a force being applied, so where is the force in this case? What...
