How do I study physics?

Preview the chapter before we beginTake notes in class, but above all listenRead the sections that have been emphasized in classRead again if it doesn’t make senseDo the assigned problemsDoes it all make sense now?

If it is still fuzzy do morePractice more problemsGet help—tutorial any morning, Monday afternoonsWebsites—Giancoli, webassign, etc.AP Physics test prep book
