My weakest subject right now is Physics by a long shot. So, is there any special way people study particularly for Physics? Right now I'm using Jacaranda and Excel as a backup to make notes based on the Syllabus. My school seems to have a habit of giving questions in a style that I haven't seen...

Alright, I'm starting to stress about this model DC motor we have to build under exam conditions. It's a fair way off, in Week 5, but I'm not sure what to do right now. I tried making a really simple motor, and that worked, but in the one they specify it has to have electromagnets. It just says...
