Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a high school student's goal to complete several physics topics within 45 days while studying for two hours each day. The topics include Electrical Current and Ohm's Law, Magnetic Effects of Electric Current, Electromagnetic Induction, and AC Circuits. Participants explore strategies for effective studying, problem-solving, and the feasibility of the proposed schedule.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • The original poster (OP) seeks advice on creating a study schedule to cover multiple physics topics and solve advanced problems.
  • Some participants suggest that true learning requires more than just a short timeframe and emphasize the importance of understanding concepts deeply.
  • One participant recommends breaking study sessions into shorter intervals with breaks to avoid "brain fog" and enhance learning performance.
  • Another participant points out that physics is best learned through problem-solving rather than just explaining concepts.
  • There are concerns about the practicality of the OP's goal, with some arguing that the proposed timeframe is insufficient for mastering the material.
  • The OP expresses a desire to achieve high marks in exams and indicates a heavy academic load with multiple subjects.
  • Some participants share their personal experiences and suggest that understanding concepts should take precedence over memorization.
  • There is a discussion about the academic load in different educational systems, with some noting that studying multiple subjects is common in certain regions.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the feasibility of the OP's study plan. While some provide strategies and encouragement, others express skepticism about the practicality of completing the topics in the given timeframe.

Contextual Notes

Participants highlight the importance of understanding concepts and solving problems, but there is no agreement on the adequacy of the proposed study schedule. The discussion reflects varying perspectives on study techniques and academic expectations.

Summary:: Hi, I am in a high a school and I want to finish these topics in one month and solve advanced problems also. Can anyone help me to make a schedule to go through it ?

Hi, I am in a high a school and I want to finish these topics in one month and solve advanced problems also :

I study with watching lectures on youtube and memorizing some contexts.

I want to make a daily missions to ace the subject.

I have studied the first chapter but I need to solve it again because I want to solve any problems about it.

You exhibit the wonderful positivism of youth. But with all due respect, true learning is not some kind of athletic contest.
You will be much better served by considering a few questions about your world and pursuing them as hard as your brain will allow (maybe 16 hours a day!). Perhaps you would like to know a computer works. At the point that you really know how a computer works much of your list will be accomplished. It will take more than a month, and the questions you wish to ask are your own. Your knowledge will then be tailored for you. If you don't have such questions, I gently suggest that you should find another use for your energies.
Just one old guy's suggestion...for what it is worth.

I have already set a schedule for quantum mechanics but I am trying to set another one for Electricity and Magnetism.
 
OP: What is the purpose of this short schedule?
 
From my personal experience , studying intensively the whole 2 hours may give one something called a "brain fog" and may reduce the learning performance.
I would like to recommend you to break it down to

25 minutes study
5 minutes break
25 minutes study
5 minutes break

Repeat

finish studying these topics in 45 days? (2 hours a day)

That number of days is not adequate for the kind of learning you tell.
 
Physics is learned by solving problems. "Explaining" concepts is only scratching the surface without the ability to solve quantitative problems. Figure out how you can find and solve appropriate problems in each topic you are hoping to learn.

I will solve many problems but I mean that I need to understand the concept first

80 days is fine ?

What you say you want to accomplish is largely impractical.

Other members who have the type and level of understanding about Electronics may have better qualified advice and opinions. (In reference to your post #1).

and I would remove the word "largely"

I say, "largely", just in case someone is an outlier.

You say you are in high school, and you say you have another schedule for studying quantum mechanics. What exam are you talking about?

I am from Egypt and I study 7 Subjects (Arabic - English - Physics - Biology - Geology - Chemistry - Italian)

Physics includes : quantum physics like Blanck's law ... and also includes Electricity and Magnetism.

Why ??
I have already finished the first chapter.

This is a very heavy academic load:

Yes I know but I should pass it. Can you suggest a plan to finish these 4 chapters?

also I like physics too much and I understand the concepts easily.

hey...

I want to know your opinion and what is your suggestions ♥

90 hours to "master a course", I think your giving yourself way too much credit. Any university level physics class would require 10 hours a week for 12+ weeks just to keep up and get an average grade.

When I was studying physics or math memorization was not in my mind, learning and understanding was.

In Europe and (and seemingly Africa) it's not unusual to study 5 to 7 subjects in "high school" or the equivalent and be examined on them right before you leave school for college. It'd be comsidered quite an average academic load here at least.

Same topic of same original posting member was just closed. Best advice about the review-plan would be to find guidance from people in your local community.
