how do you study for hard classes? 🧠🧮

I’m taking modern physics this semester and the course is super difficult. I’ve really been enjoying it and I’ve done well on the homework, but I had some trouble on the first exam.

The course is like a bridge from intro classes into upper level physics courses and it’s one of the most challenging classes I’ve ever taken.

I talked to my professor about how to study for the course the most effectively and she suggested marking up my formula sheets and finding ways to relate concepts and experiments to the math.

I just feel like upper level courses are a lot harder to study for than the intro courses :(

how do you study for your upper level classes? It doesn’t have to only be STEM! Let’s help each other out with studying!!
