Do I need to read my textbooks in college?
The answer to your question is yes, you have time to “read” the textbook before class if you apply this note-taking strategy. And the notes will become a study guide so you are not madly trying to read chapters the night before an exam. Study smarter, not harder.
Do college students actually read?
Recent studies show many college students don’t read academic text books. Engaging College Students in Course Readings” by researcher Mary Margaret Kerr published Sept. 9, 2016 in College Teaching Journal found that when students are assigned class readings, only 20 to 30 percent of them do it.
Do I need to solve the physics problems in each textbook?
Regardless of your learning style, you’ll still need to solve the physics problems in each textbook. Solving problems is the only way to really understand how the laws of physics work. There’s no way around it.
Do you have to be a scientist to study physics?
Although a physics degree is naturally highly embedded in science, physics graduates don’t necessarily have to go into jobs that are scientific in nature, and you certainly don’t have to become a scientist or physicist if you don’t want to.
What is the best book on particle physics you have read?
The Particle Odyssey by Frank Close: another brilliant popular introduction to particle physics and its history, beautifully illustrated with amazing figures and photographs. Weinberg’s The First Three Minutes: an account of the Big Bang by one of the most brilliant physicists of all time.
What is the connection between Maths and physics?
Physics is intrinsically linked with other subjects, and one of the most obvious connections is with maths. Physics without maths simply wouldn’t work, as maths is needed in order to help solve formula and generally understand and analyse physics experiments and studies.
