Make sure you study as someone who failed this class in semester 1, but got A's in semester 2. Studying really helped me out. Also, make sure you memorize things a lot AND get help if you need it.

Stop memorizing formulas and actually understand them, especially if you're in physics. If you don't know why you have a "1/2 at^2", then figure out why before memorizing it.
Class of 2026
Study formulas outside of class, and make sure you understand when to use which formulas. A grasp of algebra is also necessary in order to derive certain equations when they are not clearly stated.

you need to really study for this class. do the practice problems, write notes, study before tests, learn from previous tests. gerard is a hard teacher but you have to be a hard student too.

My favorite part is when Prasad Gerard said "It's Prasadin' Time", and proceeded to Prasad all over the place. Truly one of the Prasads of all time.
