Physics Fundamentals/ Physics for Biomed

Hey all,

Since they use the same textbook my question applies to anyone that did either. Myself and others feel so lost with physics right now. Ive actually decided to start my revision for exams now because i am determined to do well in this subject no matter what.

Anyway, i have constantly tried to contact the lecturer but he seems not to check his email. My problem is that there are parts of the textbook the lecturer does not include in the slides and was wondering if these were relevant at all? I dont have time to read every single thing in the textbook and am at a bit of a loss of what i should be summarizing as things are no so clear cut any more. Almost every person in my cohort is behind in the chapter questions and i was wondering if anyone knows of the really important ones we should do, from past experience, that would be best for the exam.

As well, what should i be focusing on for my exam revision? Have never done physics before this semester so am a bit lost.

Thanks

Hey mate, I did physics fundamentals last semester thinking it would be easy since it's the "fundamentals" of physics. But that is complete crap. The textbook goes into too much depth, and yes the lecture notes are just a much more condensed version of some or most of the book. Personally, i found doing the questions from the book good, and masterphysics pretty decent as well, just to see my areas of weakness. I found the lecture notes for physics good as a guideline of what they might ask, especially since there are example questions.

Good luck!
