Failing AP Physics and AP Environmental Science

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>I am failing AP Physics B and AP Environmental Science. I’m failing physics because the instructor goes really hard and grades very harshly as well. It’s hard to comprehend the material, I have Giancoli’s Physics book and it sucks ass. </p>

<p>And for AP Environmental Science, the textbook is just way too dense and there’s no alternative material besides notes in class. Are there any good note/quiz sites for the class or for my book (Living in the Environment AP Edition) ?</p>

<p>Yikes!! It’s already past the first quarter and end of 2nd semester should be looming. At this point,if you can, I’d recommend to drop it and cut your losses.</p>

<p>Can’t. 10 charrrr</p>

<p>Giancoli’s book isn’t that bad (IMO), but do you have the study guide which goes with it? Many of the problems in there elaborate on the concepts. Also, all the lectures from MIT’s intro physics course (8.01) are all online (youtube/iTunesU) and I’ve found those very helpful understanding concepts which my teacher/Giancoli have done a poor job of explaining. Sorry, can’t help you with APES though. Hopefully this will help, maybe a tutor also.</p>

<p>My parents would kill me if I got lower than an B+. How are you not getting pwned at home?</p>

<p>Because they don’t care about my senior year grades :)</p>

<p>Wow that’s awesome.</p>

<p>Anyways, just study your textbook, get tutoring from those getting A’s, and use Princeton Review.</p>

<p>Just read the chapter for APES. The class is very straightforward.</p>

<p>Hahaha, Hairy Lemon.</p>

<p>I’m sorry, but other CC’ers need to see the folly of succumbing to senioritis. </p>

<p>I was nearly a victim of academic rescinsion as well. . .Oh how I was going to beat myself over it had it actually happened. </p>

<p>Moral of the story: Screw the senioritis-excuse. Playing chicken with your fragile acceptance letter is fool’s play.</p>
