  • Hi!
  • Respect: +16
  • School: Class of 2018: Griffith BOHDS II
  • School Grad Year: 2013
Following the great reviews and reception from my last Physics lecture, I have decided to do a rerun of the same lecture for those who missed out.
From what I have gleaned from students and personal experience, Motion is probably the trickiest Area of Study in VCE Physics (much to disbelief of many). Thus the intent of this lecture is to focus on the crucial conceptual traps that prevent many from achieving full marks for this AoS in the exam.
Additionally, I have some cool strategies on tackling those dreaded, ambiguous long answer questions which everyone always seems to lose a mark on, calculator tricks and other awesome SHORTCUT formulas. Students will also receive lecture notes and a complimentary photocopy of my end-of-year cheat sheet. (There will also be time at the end for any questions on the topic, so come prepared!)
This lecture has also been modified to act as a revision lecture too, so don’t fret if you have already forgotten everything from last semester. Instead, embrace this opportunity to reconsolidate all the material in one sitting so you don’t have a mountain load of concepts to relearn at the end of the year!
Details
When: 6.00 - 8.00pm, Tuesday, 15th July
Where:  Eastern Resource Centre, Project Room 1, Melbourne University (try to arrive a little bit earlier as it can be hard to find the venue
Cost: $40 ($35 if you grab two of your friends to come along!)
Credentials
-Raw 50 and a Premier’s Award in Physics (2013)
-ATAR: 99.55

Best Regards,
