Should I give up being a physics major?

By the way, this IS a **discussion** board, and so I am not expecting black or white answers. If I feel that some of you are answering rudely or not giving any kind of constructive criticism, I will block you. I don't mean to be rude, it's just that I need advice from you guys. I don't need humiliation or 'why don't you just get it, stupid?' kind of remarks. Thanks.

If you feel someone is answering rudely, you should report them. However, what I see is not rudeness. I see advice that you don't want to take.

Am I missing something, because I don't see anything near this in this thread??

Micromass, you say that I should do way more than 100%, then what is the point of the homework? If the homework doesn't help me to get at least familiar and some depth in the subject, then it means that the homework is useless, and that I should just rely more on exercises I pick out from the book. Is that what you're saying?

Very possibly the professor assigns some minimum set of homework exercises as a representative set of concepts and skills, and he would be prepared to assess students work in detail for just those exercises. Some students may need MORE than just those exercises in order to build-up their conceptual strength and topic-specific analytical skills.
