Adding subjects that aren't showing/Physics Chatter

First year physics is a pain in the arse.

fundamentals? did it get better after the first 2 weeks?
the long problem-solving equations to me are so painful with all the equations, its not that hard - i just hate maths :\

Nah, I did physics 1:advanced and physics 2: physical science and technology.

The maths in physics is pretty easy. You should probably get used to that if you want to do science (even if your course doesn't specifically require much maths).

Hahaha well if I major in Psych the only maths I have to get used to is stats and after first year it's all just done on the computer anyway.
Otherwise, I know you are right!  Which is why I have been studying it like 2 hours a night trying to revise Methods from 2009...

i dropped physics officially, because it, to me, is so horribly boring and i have zero interest in anything we were doing.
i picked up both music psych and creative writing haha they are both soooo much better. yay for overloading (i has less work/hours with these two combined than physics only sweet)

creative writing is a depressing amount of work at the due date though

it doesnt seem tooooo bad. i have written heaps over the years, so i think i can finish all well on time can always recycle stuff i have!
not sure about the non-fiction/reflection piece though.. what'd you do?

1. www.fanfiction.net
2. Ctrl+C
3. Ctrl+V
4. ?????
5. Fail. The likelihood of getting something decent in one random shot is extremely low.

He could spend from now to the assessment due date trying to get something decent from that horrible site and still not find anything

[vexx]

haha ive literally seen nothing good from that site. but hey its been a few years, maybe there is good somewhere now amongst all the meaningless plots from harry potter and the like obsessed fans wrote pretty poorly :p

[rustic_metal]

There's plenty of good stuff, it's just completely swamped by all the bullshit.

(Otherwise known are the rule of the internet )

I dropped physics after 1st year because it was stupid.  Labs were stupid.  The mathematics was stupid.  Everything was stupid.

Guys lets face it, the problem is not the material, it is this:

[happyhappyland]

Physics fundamental has the worse lecturer who puts up trick questions as examples. How im dealing with it is getting that sheet he gave us on the first lecture which outlines which chapters the book covers and learning purely from the book.

If the optics lecturer is just as shit I might get a tutor for 2-3weeks before the exam.

Yeah me also to everything above, just reading the textbook is much more valuable.

ahem to that.. the monkey example was one of the reasons i dropped it - thinking of doing questions like that would kill me, sooo boringggg. also since i didnt do yr12, i have to do quite a bit of self-learning for my bio subject, really didnt want another subject that was similar. but bio is interesting so i dont mind heh
goodluck guys ^_^

lol what's the monkey example, I'm interested =p
