Also, this is one I was never able to figure out for myself. When the prof asks a question, and keeps asking for an answer, are they *really* wanting someone to shoutout with an answer or is it just a dry-joke as part of their presentation?

Mercy Sensei hi! Happy to be of help; It’s an astronomy class but we do talk astrophysics a lot. It is, quite honestly, one of the most beautiful things you’ll ever learn. I wanna preface by saying I had *so much fun*. When I started, I had no idea that within 2 months I’d study the birth of stars, and I genuinely cried when we had to study how they die - not because I didn’t get it, but because I *did*. It had the audacity to make sense. For the first time in my life, I understood exactly how we are all made of stardust, and I had cried because it was absolutely gorgeous. You’ll come across a lot of things you’ve already heard of - black holes, dark matter, quasars, E=MC^2 - but if you’re anything like me, you didn’t really think that you’d truly understand it one day. When you start on Astro, you will. You’ll also notice that if you rank majors by how much they really matter, really make an impact on society and people around you, Astro is not really high on that list (of course, it’s one of the few things that do matter in the grand scheme of things, but let’s consider it at college level first, not the scale of the universe). Don’t be disillusioned if you do suddenly find out the impracticality of Astro, because it was never supposed to be a practical matter. Astro is the human understanding of its own insignificance, desperately grasping at even a vague idea of what the cosmos truly is - we may never find out, and even if we do we would barely utilize it, but such is the nature of human curiosity that it demands we dedicate our lifetimes simply to find out how things work in this strange but beautiful little world we live in. People who study Astro are seized by this passion for simply the beauty of the universe. You’ll do best if you lean into this cosmic curiosity - appreciate those pictures of nebulae, feel your heart melt and your eyes soften and that little breath that pushes out of your lungs when you see the remnants of a supernova. It seems as though everyday we are about to tip over the edge of our own oblivion to knowledge in terms of Astro, but at least we know that we are amongst something as beautiful as the stars, and the galaxies. If you were looking for more practical advice, here’s some: all your Astro professors will also be aware of this cosmic beauty, which makes them passionate and very eccentric. They are interesting to talk to, great resources, and great friends if you get close. They’ll always need help on research projects and you can capitalize on that.

You are joking, but you are right. I had a math prof in math for physicists and we literally proofed 1+1=2 for like 15 solid minutes, at other times he just skipped a whole page of his script, saying it was trivial anyway.
My software professor gave us the task to write Ebay, like yeah the auction site, in 2 weeks from scratch no pairs. He followed it up with "I wasn't able to finish this last semester so I'll be finishing it this semester alongside you all"
never have i ever followed a professors instructions on note taking. One dude i had told me to do something similar to this and called me out mid class to chastise me over it. The only thing i could reply with was " i didnt pay you to tell me how to take notes, only to teach me physics" yeah sounds kewl but i got thrown out >.
The professor being available all the time is so accurate. I'd message my professor at 4 a.m and he'd be online and would even answer. He went to work at 7 a.m...
And when you say you dont,He gives you a surprised look at you and say you even didnt know this. you wasted your time last year,who was your teacher back then.
The first time in my life I'm not familiar with the course and it was awful to hear that sentence. Our prof. gave us homework and there was this one variable she didn't determine but supposed to, so we solved the problem(like every single one of us) from another equation she briefly talked about. And when we were giving the homework I asked about the question just in case, guess what she said "you were supposed to give L any value, I knew you guys would mix up the formulas, it's always the same every year. I was waiting for you guys come and ask about the question. Also we only learned one equation, why would you use the other one at all." Ugh, we freaking wrote pages and pages of information, not just a single formula, gosh I don't even wanna know what she is going to send us this week.
Best quote from my chemistry professor, the HEAD of the chemistry department, on day 1 of class: "Ok so in this class we have 2 semesters of material to cover and 1 semester to do it. There's no way we can get it all, so we're just gonna try."
My current physics teacher has covid so he couldn't attend to class, he gave us his e-mail and phone number, telling us to call him (or send him a message) anytime if we had questions! My former teacher would do zoom calls at midnight sometimes if we needed some help, and they lasted around 2 to 3 hours ! I love the fact that a lot of physics teachers are willing to help us so much
'Don't stress guys you'll be learning this kind of stuff next year' *next year* 'Well, how is it my fault that you don't understand if you didn't pay attention in class last year?'
That happened to me with binary to hexadecimal to decimal conversion. Till this day no professor nor TA ever taught us the exact formula and I graduated from computer engineering somehow. It all started from when our first prof said you'll be taught how to do it later on
Half my lecturers have stated, after a direct question from a student, that certain sections or topics won't be asked in tests/exams (they're separate things where I'm from). Then 3/4 of the exam is made up of that stuff.
Amen. And there's this variation: professor something like the quiz next week will only be about Taylor and Laurent series. Then next week, you see three questions on the test, only one of which is about Taylor and Laurent series. True story.
The one about solving ODEs is hilarious lol. They did that on my maths course every time. "I presume everyone knows how to do this? *wastes 10 mins of the lecture doing it* Okay well unfortunately I've hardly got any time now to present the new material, which is actually difficult, so I'll speed through that now in an unclear manner!"
Second semester math, insanely difficult proof of some geometric theorem, nobody got it right, everyone was waiting for the reference solution by the prof’s assistant. Solution papers came in, there were just two words: “Super trivial.”
I literally had most of these. Just last week in my Thermo class, "the quiz took me 15 minutes to do but everyone did not finish in time. That means no one is understanding the subject" 🤣 I've also noticed there are some physics professors who make some lengthy analogies to the point you can not remember what the topic was and sometimes they can get really weird. One professor talking about special relativity lab went into "instead of the spaceship saying Obama, it says Osama". All of us looked at each other like what.
doesn't make memorizing formulas and equations any more enjoyable. i have passion and curiosity for the subject, but not when under pressure from tests.

@@marcelprinsloo7692 Really don't be scared! Personally, I found physics difficult but I'm sure you are more than prepared for anything they throw at you.

Good luck for next year you're going to kill it!!
@@marcelprinsloo7692 I agree with Sam, just go to the lectures, pay attention and try to study everyday and you will be fine, it can be hard sometimes, but never impossible, unless you are irresponsible
Dude my math professor would assign homework that our math textbook didn't even MENTION. How was I supposed to figure it out if my teacher AND my textbook didn't mention it??? Thank goodness for Slader.
Hahaha I remember hunting down the instructor version of a textbook once and many of the “solutions” literally just said something like “this is left as a simple exercise”
The 1 hour exam bc the prof finished it in 55 minutes is soooooo relatable.. I had a mechanic physics professor that each year made his exam a little harder because he believes that in X years children will learn quantum physics in primary school
So on point. Reminds me of my physics profs who would always do half of a problem and then say "and the remainder of the solution should be intuitively obvious" and quickly move on.
Because, it usually is. Unless you are theoretical/experimental physicist or some physics related field (physical chemistry, astrophysics), physics that other fields use (various engineering fields) is indeed simple. The hard part is out of reach for engineers currently, and will be for quite some time. The rest, mostly basics. The problem is that some physics teachers end up making it harder than it should be as they lack proper teaching skills - physicists are not really known for their social skills. And if we are talking about physics TEACHERS (primary and secondary/high school), then yeah, it's all bare bones basic stuff that is indeed very simple. You don't even use the full power of mathematics that you learn along side the physics at that same time.
It is. Anything below university level just looks at simple, clear cut and at most two dimensional cases with idealized environments. I had a good physics teacher in school who tried his best to get as much across as possible, but you can only get so far without multidimensional calculus.
Had a maths tutor like this last year, I ask a question "This is simple maybe you shouldn't be in my class" bruh I'm the only person getting an A in your class, the "this is simple" mentality pisses me off so much
“Now there’s a formula sheet for your exam, so you shouldn’t have any issues.” *Makes a formula sheet that has less value to me than shredded toilet paper*
I would watch your videos when I was a freshman completely lost by the math. And now it’s so crazy to come back and actually understand (at least recognize 😂) most of it
Prof: so ask any questions if you don't understand Student: ** asks question** Prof: actually you should know that already, we did one example three months ago in the notes, I'm not going over it again
the one at 1:35 is quite alright though, it is in the form of a second order homogenous linear differential equation and the way to solve it is indeed by substituting y=e^ax where a is some constant and then simplifying it into the characteristic equation which gives us the quadratic to solve
Chronyx hmmm yes yes the bisector of the photosynthesis inverting the Linear characteristic of f=ma to the Higgs field of acutely measuring the homogeneous way of differentiating a quantum egg, so easy practically learned it in kindergarten
The head of my school comes into my science a levels and always tell us how shit he was at science and how amazing we all are for actually understanding it... none of us understand it but we appreciate the sentiment
My college was exactly like this but I had some old dude that had tenor for about 2 times my age and was retiring that semester. Lectures devolved into theory often and I made a 20 on the final and got an A. My lab was the opposite, it was so trivial that the cutoff for an A became a 99.8, I had a 99.5 and got a B-.

This happend to me last semester : The professor entered the exam class and told us " this test took me 2 and a half hour to solve and the exam is 2 hours so you're just gonna have to select the questions that gives you higher marks" In the end only 3% out of 500 students passed the exam
@@Isometrix116 or its edgy humor that doesnt follow along in my specific ideas of what is funny? I was pretty sure that was the reason and no, I have no clue who those people are lol
This brings back a frustrating experience with my physics prof. There was ONE TIME I had a specific question that I needed his help with. I went to his office, asked my question, and all he would do is give me a hint for the answer. Drove me nuts.
I remember watching this after finishing junior year in the summer (August 2019 or so). I didn't understand jackshit tbh. And now here I am currently a CHEM freshman taking physic classes and I can't relate to anything more than this video lol.
Watched it two years ago, before starting to study physics, said "funny i guess" and that was that. Now I'm studying physics properly and I really understand it.
Me: *asks a question to the teacher* Random student: *answers the question and not the teacher* Me: is she right???! Teacher: anyways, *continues teaching*
The most annoying thing is, usually some guy is actually familiar with it and starts explaining it. For some reason the professor always assumes that he then represents the whole class
My high school physics teacher looked pretty depressed most of the time. He'd barely even make eye contact with you ever, even if you were just asking to go to the bathroom. He was so nice but also just so worn out looking. Was almost sad really. He was a decent teacher though and I still credit him for actually getting me to understand calculus since the actual calculus teacher wasn't doing a great job at it (as evidenced by the ~15% pass rate on the Calc AB AP exam, which was by no means mandatory).
Sean Brown man that sucks I was talking about my college professors, my calc based physics 1and 2 prof was my advisor until my last semester and she was one of if not the best professor I ever had. She was enthusiastic, easy going, and despite all the material being tough at the time she broke it down really well and always made time for student. I only went once but the night before the tests she would always stay late and have a 5 hour study session for anyone who wanted to come. Helped my make all A’s that year.
You forgot two aspects that were central to my college Physics experience. 1. A thick foreign accent, so you can't quite tell what he says. 2. Chicken scratch on the board, so you can't quite tell what he writes. SMH

@@SubscribersWithNoVideos-yc2nh sit in the front row. In my experience, you get called on less. I think the logic is, people who sit in the back want to be unseen and often do not engage due to the space between making communication harder, whereas with people up front it's assumed they want to be seen to let the professor to know they're there and listening. Like, Why would you waste time calling on students up front whom your 95% sure heard and understood what you said, when you should be calling on the ones who are further away to make sure they heard as well and are capable of following along and are doing so.

The first time in my life I'm not familiar with the course and it was awful to hear that sentence. Our prof. gave us homework and there was this one variable she didn't determine but supposed to, so we solved the problem(like every single one of us) from another equation she briefly talked about. And when we were giving the homework I asked about the question just in case, guess what she said "you were supposed to give L any value, I knew you guys would mix up the formulas, it's always the same every year. I was waiting for you guys come and ask about the question. Also we only learned one equation, why would you use the other one at all."
Ugh, we freaking wrote pages and pages of information, not just a single formula, gosh I don't even wanna know what she is going to send us this week.

I was going to say the same thing 😂😂
The 1 hour exam bc the prof finished it in 55 minutes is soooooo relatable.. I had a mechanic physics professor that each year made his exam a little harder because he believes that in X years children will learn quantum physics in primary school
So on point. Reminds me of my physics profs who would always do half of a problem and then say "and the remainder of the solution should be intuitively obvious" and quickly move on.

@@joda7697 who told you that ?
Mass usually just cancels out.
Physics teachers be like:
-I don't get how is this hard, it's so simple.
Because, it usually is. Unless you are theoretical/experimental physicist or some physics related field (physical chemistry, astrophysics), physics that other fields use (various engineering fields) is indeed simple. The hard part is out of reach for engineers currently, and will be for quite some time. The rest, mostly basics. The problem is that some physics teachers end up making it harder than it should be as they lack proper teaching skills - physicists are not really known for their social skills.
And if we are talking about physics TEACHERS (primary and secondary/high school), then yeah, it's all bare bones basic stuff that is indeed very simple. You don't even use the full power of mathematics that you learn along side the physics at that same time.
In Mother Russia they use the term 'even a hedgehog understands this.'
It is. Anything below university level just looks at simple, clear cut and at most two dimensional cases with idealized environments. I had a good physics teacher in school who tried his best to get as much across as possible, but you can only get so far without multidimensional calculus.
Tokisaki Kurumi Good thing my college has a multidimensional calculus class!
Had a maths tutor like this last year, I ask a question "This is simple maybe you shouldn't be in my class" bruh I'm the only person getting an A in your class, the "this is simple" mentality pisses me off so much
