How to solve physics problems
Some good physics problems online
- I suggest you get a 1" - 1 1/2" binder devoted exclusively to this course (with dividers). I'll have handouts that you'll need to have quick reference to during class, and a binder is best for this.
- You'll need a printer paper for each lab session.
- You'll need a quadrilled (graph paper-type) laboratory notebook.
- Bring your textbook to each class session.
- Read my comprehensive Physics Primer.
- Read the Homework Grading Criteria
