PHYSICS NOTES FOR FORM SIX
Notes 1
5.
Develop the Habit of Asking Questions and Seek Answers
Don't
hesitate to ask questions, be it to your physics teachers or classmates or
through online resources. If you have doubts about the correct answers, don't
hesitate to consult with your instructor or peers for feedback. Having someone
validate your answers is a great way to ensure you've arrived at the correct
solution. Don't be afraid to make mistakes either. Sometimes, arriving at an
incorrect answer is more valuable than getting the correct answer right away.
6. Get
in the (study) zone
Like
many subjects, but perhaps particularly those you're having difficulty with, a
mastery of physics requires uninterrupted daily studying. What this means
is different for everyone: some people work best in a busy coffee shop, while
others need absolute silence and isolation.
7.
Familiarize Yourself and Review Common Mistakes
Familiarizing
yourself with common errors made by students in physics is another proactive
approach to mastering the subject. Common mistakes include misreading
questions, neglecting units, incorrect vector handling, or simple mathematical
errors. It's also important to reflect on your work, identify patterns of
errors, and strategize ways to prevent them.
8.
Drill yourself on the core concepts
After you've done your reading (in preparation for your next lecture), make sure you retain the concepts by drilling yourself on the main ideas, definitions, and formula you've encountered. Having these fundamental concepts memorized (or at least understood) before you go to your next lecture will really help you follow what's going on in class.
