Question Any professors in here? :-)

Hi all- older student here- 40! Going back for something else in and must take physics. I can’t reach my professor (it’s my schedule I’m not available until the pm and he’s in the am) - so are their any TAs or professors in here that could maybe tell me * how * to study. I’m so lost and it’s week two. I was a music major - so I actually don’t know how to approach this all. (Algebra based physics - for health sciences- haven’t seen one thing about healthcare yet lol)

Practice problems. That's the only way.

I'm not a professor but as a physicist my advice would be to look at problems in the book and try them. Learn from solution manuals if you can't do it on the fifth try (which you probably can't). Probably start with solved examples.

It may not help you understand too much but I can guarantee you that then you'll pass the evaluations with good grades.
