I am having a real hard time solving the problems but I have a good concept of how everything works (thanks to reading the chapters 4 times!). So is there a book that will help me pull the information out of the homework questions to help me solve some of these homework problems. What I need is a book that will overcome a poor instructor, does this exist?

Thanks

sounded like me in my first eng physics class...VERY poor instructor, coupled with a poor physics book

i got a couple books, but unfortunately, didnt really help me much.

luckily, i got by ... my scores averaged at most 45%, but with huge curve, was a B ... to me, that was a sign of either too hard of material for the class, or poor instructor. i think it was a mix of both, more on the instructor though. grrr
 
for reaching out for help with your physics homework. It sounds like you have a good understanding of the concepts, but are struggling with applying them to the homework problems. While a book can be a helpful resource, I would suggest seeking out additional resources such as online tutorials, practice problems, or even reaching out to classmates or a tutor for extra support. It's also important to communicate with your instructor and ask for clarification on any concepts or problems that you are struggling with. They may be able to provide additional resources or guidance to help you better understand the material. Keep practicing and seeking help when needed, and you'll be able to overcome any challenges in your physics class. Best of luck!
