Document Summary
0. 1 you can"t memorize your way through a physics class. The rst instinct of many life science students is to study for exams by memorizing as much information as possible. This is not a bad instinct it is generally a successful strategy in biology courses. However, this will not work in physics classes. The best way to study for a physics test is to review the solutions and revise your answers to your corrected home- work problems (but don"t try to simply memorize them!). Physics professors are known to put homework problems, either verbatim or slightly modi ed on exams. Education research shows that novices and experts approach solving physics problems very di erently. If you would like a high grade on your physics exam, you should emulate expert problem solvers, rather than follow your instincts as a novice. How novices (students in physics 101) solve problems: panic! 0. 3 the mandatory steps for solving a physics problem.
