<p>Hey guys,
I was a liberal arts major now in the sciences, seeking to complete my prereqs. Got a B in physics after i took it in the summer, my lowest grade on my transcript. was wondering if i need to have a solid background of physics 1 for physics 2, or do they not build upon each other (as i’ve heard some say) … How do serious science majors prepare for the fall? do you guys rest up or actually read up and review for your future courses?</p>
<p>***BTW i took calc, chemistry, and biology ( 1 & 2s) and got A’s in them but i know physics is a bit different…how do i go about studying for it better?</p>
<p>A B grade is supposed to indicate good performance in a course, certainly better than the C grade that is supposed to indicate passing the course well enough to take subsequent courses. (An A grade is supposed to indicate outstanding performance, while a D grade is supposed to mean barely passing, and an F grade means failure.)</p>
<p>Or is grade inflation so great now that people think of a B grade as barely passing?</p>
