Physics Learning

• Use multiple resources: notes, book, homework, opening activities, etc… Sample Problems are a wonderful thing!

• Read notes nightly • Work in groups to clarify concepts and their relationships• Go beyond symbolic manipulation: plugging in #’s isn’t

physics!• Do not memorize: learn when & why things work and when

they don’t• Actively participate! Do problems in class!!!!• Learn from Homework!!

The Course• Behavior : Cell phone Free

Zone when Einstein off!– Other-wise: acting wisely with
