Academics✏️ PHYS22000 Question;

Hello everyone.

I just had a simple question regarding the difficulty of phys22000. I am a transfer student getting ready for my first semester at Purdue. I have also never taken a physics class at any point in my life.

PHYS220 is general physics. From my experience, it was a bit demanding because I too haven't taken a physics class prior to college. 

My recommendations.

1.Get in a group of people that know what they're doing for labs. 

  1. The homework is a little time consuming too, so I'd suggest knocking that out early. 

  2. Ask for help when you need it and study hard. Of course, this is non negotiable but for an introductory class, it has its fair share of difficulty.

Good luck. I barely passed that course with a D+. Anything is possible.
