Learning physics online is feasible and can be beneficial for students, especially those preparing for courses. Resources such as MIT's free online course in Introductory Mechanics and various Open Course initiatives from prestigious universities provide valuable materials. While online learning can cover theoretical aspects, hands-on lab experience remains essential and cannot be fully replicated online. Students should engage in self-study to enhance their understanding and readiness for formal education.
PREREQUISITESFirst-year college students, self-learners in physics, educators seeking online resources, and anyone interested in enhancing their understanding of physics concepts.
TheKracken said:I am a first year CC student taking pre- calculus and I was woundering if it is fesible to learn physics online and through books on your own. I still intend on taking the courses, but as in for preperation, is it a good idea to study the concepts and or math before the course on your own? Or should you wait for the professor to teach the subject?
