Stuff We Didn't Cover--Should I Be Concerned?
I'm going to a CC before university, and since it's quarter based I sometimes wonder we are rushing through things and not fully covering what would get covered at a different school. In my Physics I class (calc-based), we did not cover oscillations, gravity, waves, thermodynamics, kinetic theory of gases, and one or two other things that many "classical mechanics" courses seem to cover (if course descriptions are to be believed). In my E&M class (which is very nearly over) we aren't getting into light or any modern physics (that's for next quarter, but I believe there is a chapter we skip over in that class).
Given that these are the general calc-based classes, am I worrying about nothing? Or am I unprepared for the diff-eq-based classes on these same topics I'm going to face after transfer?
