TIPS FOR SUCCESS Our main resource is www.PhysicsClassroom.com. You can minimize homework and stress by making efficient use of class time. The key to success is to “reflect” on your classroom experiences…what did we do, why did we do it, and what should you understand? Keep organized by keeping all notes and handouts in your 3-ring binder. Make sure you have a scientific calculator (with exponent, sin, and cos keys).
