AI Thread Summary
A user on Physics Forums is seeking advice on completing four directed-study courses to earn college undergraduate credit. Recommendations include finding the specific textbooks used at the intended school and working through them. Additionally, MIT OpenCourseWare (MITocw) is suggested as a valuable resource, offering video lectures and practice exams. For physics, Walter Lewin's lectures on mechanics are highlighted as a useful resource available on YouTube.

Hello Physics Forums!

I'm in a little bit of an interesting situation. I've completed the classes offered at my school, but have been told that if I can directed-study these four courses they will provide me with a credit bearing exam for college undergraduate credit. Do you have any recommended resources, pacing, advice for these courses?

Thank you!

Find out the texts used at the school you want to attend, and work through them. That should put you on the right track.

To add to this: MITocw has video lectures for all these courses. And practice exams as well. Although the physics lectures are on youtube under a different channel. Search for "walter lewin 8.01" for mechanics.
 

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
