Learn Physics: Tips for Starting from Scratch

[capeycapers]

Hi there looking for advice on the best method to learn physics.
I am currently at university studying chemical engineering and during my high school years neglected studying any form of physics (mainly due to it being a mostly male class which I regret now).

I feel now that I can't do as well in my course as I only have a fairly basic knowledge of physics. I would really like to start learning it during the summer so when I go back to university I'll find it a lot easier. I'd be truly grateful for any advice!

Thanks Guys

Welcome to Physics Forums.

I assume enrolling in a course is out of the question.

I don't really know what chemical engineering entails. Can you say whether you need a quantitative or a qualitative understanding in your work? Are you running into trouble, for example, because you are unsure of the meaning when you see work and energy come up or because you can't apply Coulomb's law to calculated forces between two charges?
