Welcome to our Physics Tips Daily - a newsletter on insider's tips and tricks in how to study physics effectively. Each day, you will receive an article and a tutorial video on how to survive in physics.
Today's topic is on how to study physics EFFECTIVELY. It's a big topic, so get ready!
First to the questions commonly being asked:
- What exactly is physics?
- What are the basic skills needed to do well in your physics class?
- How can you learn effectively from a physics lecture?
- What main concepts will you learn in physics?
On the very first tip, I have discussed what is physics - the science of physics tries to explain how the universe works.
Next is the math, yesterday you should have learned the math needed for physics via our video tutorial. If not, go back to that tip and click on the movie link to master the math before jumping into physics.
The lecture delivered by your instructor will be one of the most important avenues of learning. Don't miss these valuable instruction times no matter how reluctant you may be at attend.
Usually you will have a syllabus that describes what each lecture will cover before you even get there. It would be a good idea to read through the textbook sections that cover that topic before you arrive at the lecture. This way when the instructor uses new terminology, or discusses new topics, you won't spend as much time trying to assimilate those new ideas and you'll be able to follow along.
During the lecture, take notes of what you think is important. Don't waste your time or energy resources copying every single detail. Also make notes of points that may be presently unclear to you. You can return to these concepts later for clarification.
If something is quite puzzling, don't be afraid to politely raise your hand and ask, even if you are in the middle of a crowded lecture hall. If you are having trouble understanding something, other students are probably in the same position. Many people may benefit from your question being answered.
Even though you may not have a test or evaluation for some time, take at least a few minute to review what was taught soon after the lecture. A little bit of study time immediately after an idea is learned will be much more effective than cramming later when you can't even remember what you learned about.
To explain how the universe behaves, physics describes a variety of forces. For example, the pull from gravity extends from all matter. The attraction or repulsion of electricity can be observed in many everyday instances. The strong nuclear force is an example that is more obscure. These forces, and other examples, will be explored in your study of physics.
Let's master physics the EASY way! "See" you tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Seize the Day!

PS: Do you want to know my formula of success in physics? Knowing this formula could save you tons of time and avoid lots of frustration in studying physics. Are you ready? Here it is ...
>> Physics Mastery = Core-Concepts + Problem-Solving + Super Review.
There you have it! It's that simple - just identify and understand the core concepts and their inter-connections, then apply the understanding to problem solving and finally super study the cheat sheets. You will be able to walk in to ace that exam with total confidence. Watch this movie and learn about this secret formula: http://www.rapidlearningcenter.com/TheMovie.html
PPS: I guess your next question is "How?" well, I got that covered too. The short answer is "Physics in 24 Hours" series. The core concepts, problem solving and cheat sheets have all been worked out for you. Just click to start at: http://www.rapidlearningcenter.com/physics.
