Wat the fuck do?

It has all these F-uMy/u shit why is this not like high school physics or AP physics?

I feel you I'm in AP Physics and doing well and like the subject but I think we're not being prepared very well for the AP....... lol

Failed my AP because it looked like Greek. Even though I practiced all the Topics. The wording is what you need to know, more than the actual solving

Because University Physics is no fucking joke.

It will fuck you and have you doubting yourself. Before you know it you failed the course and are retaking it in the summer just before you then switch your majors cause you just don't "get it"

Physics majors that graduate and become professors are on another plane of existence. They've trancesed this realm. This is why they can't teach for shit and break it down in a way students understand

Is it possible you can teach yourself the stuff if the professor cannot?

If you want to pass you have to. You can't rely on lecture. The professors usually have thick indecipherable accents. You have to teach yourself. Don't ask me how cause I wish I knew

>> No.7078917

I'm a graduate student in physics. AP physics is a fucking joke compared to actual physics. Do not think you are actually learning how to do physics just from taking AP. I breezed through AP, easily got a 5, and then got my shit smacked freshman year of college.

The fact of the matter is physics is fucking hard and extremely complicated. The one's who really succeed are the one's who live and breathe it.

and yeah, do not rely on lectures or professors. You have to read the textbook and do problems and teach a lot of things to yourself.

This has been my experience in math; I feel like I get nothing out of going lectures and that I have to read the textbook to actually learn.
