Hello
I am an Integrated PhD Physics student ( Masters+PhD Program ). We have two years of course work then research. I could not study very well in my classical Mechanics course ( goldstein Level ) for some reason. Also, in my EM class the Professor used Griffiths as textbook which I had already done. ( Was expecting a graduate level textbook like Jackson ). Right now I am in 3rd Semester and can't study these books ( Goldstein and Jackson ) because I am taking other courses. Is it a good idea to study these two books in the first year of my PhD ( apart from research ).?. More generally, does one get time in PhD to revise coursework that one has not done well or has some gaps in ? Because coursework is often very fast, so it is almost always necessary for me go back and revisit some topics. Is it possible /feasible to do this during PhD?
Thank You
