How to Do Well in PHY 2005
Physics is not inherently difficult, although sometimes it may seem a
bit obscure. This course uses only a small amount of algebra and is
mostly descriptive in nature. With only a modest effort and by
following the rules below you can be successful in this course.
1) Attend class. The lectures may be confusing and you may
sleep through class, but by attending you will at least learn what
subjects I think are important. On these you can concentrate during
your reading. By some unfortunate set of circumstances if you do
miss class, do not ask me later if I said anything important---all
that I say is important. Instead, ask a classmate; she or he is
likely to give an honest answer, you won't run the risk of offending
me, and, besides, I might not have noticed that you missed class
(however, I am quite observant).
2) Take notes in class. Taking notes keeps you awake and
engaged
in the lectures. Record the examples done in class. Record the
clicker-quizzes
and answers.
Describe the demonstrations that you see, and the explanations that I
give.
3) Be on time for class. Announcements are always made at the
beginning of each lecture. You are responsible for all announcements
whether you attend class or not.
4) Do the assigned reading before I cover the material in
class. This is surprisingly helpful! You will be amazed at how much
clearer my lectures are if you have already read the material. |
