Fuck Physics!

I just failed my physics test horribly. The instructor told us to make sure to look over vocab because that was most of the test and that there was 4 or 5calculational problems. Of course, I heed her advice and spend a good amount of time memorizing the vocab. When I got the test today, to my surprise, there wasn't any form of vocab on it whatsoever; it was all calculational. Is that bullshit or what?! I don't think I necessarily failed it, but I know I would've done a lot better if I wouldn't have spent so much time studying the vocab that she told us most of the test was over. I don't figure a lot of people will reply to this. I just felt the need to rant for a minute. :tongue:
 
Just goes to show that if you're gonna study, study everything that could be on the test.


You should know by now not to trust teachers anyways.
 
Just took my physics final last week. This week we had to teach fourth graders about simple machines. Fucked up, isn't it?

Our teacher has a great tendancy of not going over anything.

At all.
 
and then theres my physics class where the teacher doesnt even know what the fuck the book is trying to say, and she spent countless years of her life in college for this. waste of time if you ask me.
 
If you prepared yourself with the vocab of basic physics for a test and can't do the math. I am sorry you will always lose. Nobody cares if you can explain; they want the math. Prove it don't say it.
 
You can't really lean the vocabulary of physics without understanding the way physics work. And if you understand the way physics works, then you've got all the formulae from first principles anyway. So it's a bit meaningless to just study lists of words. You need to understand the depth of how things work. And it's not really something that can be revised. You need to have paid attention in class when you first learned it.
 
I've had this teacher, and I noticed she uses memorization to teach. You memorize the vocabulary, and you memorize the formulas. Hell last year, I would just look at the way a question was worded, and based on that know what formula to use.

I learned nothing. I finished the class with a 92 I believe. There's a difference between learning and memorizing.
 
Yeah, I'm taking AP Physics in High School, and we have to learn EVERYTHING ourselves. I feel your pain. My teacher does the exact same thing, she will be like, our entire test will be over this article, nothing else, but once we get the test there is 5 calculation problems, and one question on the article. She is a total bitch. The most you can do is remember everything that you guys go over, and if you read ahead, even if you only understand a portion of it, it will help you later. :happysad:
 
Eh, she's an easy teacher man. Remember how much she curved our grades last year in chem? Not sure if she still does that, but still man, she's a pushover and you know it =P

Yeah, I remember, the test I took in her chem class last year. When she graded and returned it, i had a 35%, after her curve and the extra credit worksheet that was given to us, I brought that 35% up to a 75% I do believe lol.

Oh, yeah this is only her second year teaching real high school students too. She just doesn't have the whole "teach" part down yet. I think the problem is that she tries to have too much fun in class with all of her "Throw the golf ball out of the window" experiments and shit yo.

Or just have sex with her.
