Thinking of Dropping Physics (1 Viewer)

[FroZenWaffleS]

Is Physics suppose to be so hard?
You have to spend so many hours of your own time to study and learn things yourself . My teacher treats us like uni students, he talks and we write notes.

My teacher is alright but his teaching methods are crap. For some reason when he teaches the maths side of Physics, I just dont get it but when I pick up a textbook I understand.
Is there something wrong with me because this is the only subject which I struggle in. Its like every other subject (Maths 2unit, ext 1, english adv, ext, chem, bio, sor 1unit) I understand but this subject is like so hard. The school thought I could do well in it after i got 89 in the School Certificate.
In the half yearlies, Im looking at over 80's for the other subjects and barely a 50% for physics.
The prac is just ridicolous, we have to find the angle of deviation. WTF IS THAT???!?!?!?

physics hard or not depends on each person...if ur teacher can't teach, just teach urself, or just ask him q's right away as soon as u don't understand.. Most of the physics nowadays is just memorising dot points anyway.

err not really,
the point of physics is to get a genuine understanding of the concepts so that u can apply them to any possible relative question.

 

[FinalFantasy]

but although they may not get the "point of physics"... lots of ppl just memorise da stuff and do fine........

 

[gordo]

yeh but then y even bother to do it
utilise your precious time at school to learn "knowledge"
rather than just going hands down for a uai

My teacher sounds exactly like that. Well how about relying on notes and etc. on BOS? As for dropping it, have you done any actual tests to SAY you're bad at it?

looking at

Actually, angle of deviation...o__O that's my practical. Uh... gee... freaky.
