Question

write up your thoughts on the set of questions listed below.

1) What do you think is the most challenging aspect of physics for most students? (and why)

2) What do you think are the best ways for students to prepare before coming to class? (note this doesn't have to be what you actually do, but what you think would be best)

3) What resources do you think are most valuable for students as they work on homework and study for tests? (and why)

4) For the different areas that you are graded for this course, how would you rate the importance of each of these toward your learning of physics (exams, homework, pre-lecture quizzes, recitation quizzes, in class practice problems, reviewing resources on Blackboard before and after class, the writing assignments)

Answer 1

1. The most challenging aspect in physics for most students is to clearly understand the problem and to overcome the mathematics necessary to understand the physics. Further having a feel of what's going on in the problem is also challenging.

2. First thinking over the concepts own self i.e., without taking the help of any resource. If it could be made, only then taking the help from resources.

3. Internet of moat valuable because we can get any information immediately. But there is one disadvantage that it contains too much knowledge which sometimes may not be easy to understand. Other important resources are referred books. Which will give the precisely required amount of knowledge.

4. In class practice problems > homework > pre lecture quizzes > exams > reviewing resources on blackboard before and after class > Recitation quizzes
