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!!
