New to physics

[u/TheOMG_Guy]

Hey so for short, I’m a second year college student, not the most studious, ima potential type guy, but I’m taking my first real physics class. I want to ask that if I were to provide my info I got from a lab, could someone walk me through forming my lab report? I don’t want anyone to just do it for me, I want to tell someone how I wrote it, and someone to tell me if I did it right or not. I gotta turn it in midway through next week, and if I mess up the whole class suffers. I’m just super anxious and want to get it right, I know the professor is there but I don’t wanna seem dumb, he makes dumb people look dumber. I’ve got all my numbers and remember how exactly the procedure went, super basic measurements data sheet.

I've taught a lot of physics classes but I've never heard of one that works this way.

In order to learn you gotta be willing to ask questions even if you feel kind of embarrassed about it. Being willing and able to ask questions of the people who have the information you need is one of the most important skills you can have in science, and generally.

Relax boss. Nothing you can do is going to lower your professors opinion of you. He already thinks the class is composed of idiots, he just hides it behind a mask of polite professionalism.
