This quater

(0 reviews)

Reiterating Dave's recent blog post, I thought I would review what this last quarter has been like. So this quarter covered the E&M portion of the Physics C course. My general opinion is that the jump from Physics B to Physics C was far easier for mechanics than the jump for E&M. From the first two exams I learned that I was horrendously bad at the E&M free responses. I also found while taking the test, I would realize that I didn't really understand the material as well as I thought. However it seems that with the last two units, I've done better. With the practice free responses, I actually was able to get the majority of the points for the problem where as before I was getting a dismal amount of points. The last two tests, I actually felt like I understood the material and wasn't as stressed during the test. Hopefully the rest of E&M goes like the 2nd half of this quarter and not the first half.

I wholeheartedly agree with you my friend. I think it is safe to say that these units are very humbling and it shows that there are so many complex things that are so interesting yet so difficult to understand. Study study study time!

I'm with you... without a doubt, the course takes a step up in complexity when we get to E&M. The mechanics portion of the course is really about learning the new notation, learning a new way to attack what you don't understand, etc. Then you get to apply it when we hit electrostatics! Hang in there, though... it's amazing how things start to come together about a week after we finish induction as we prep for the AP exam!
