    I might be Talking shit here because I haven’t started my bachelor but to me some things he said where already clear such as the teachers doing less teaching but more like doing presentations on topics. Again I have no experience but in my opinion if you choose to study physics you should do it for the sake of the knowledge and love for the field and not to get in to a prestigious university also I have the impression you won’t get through your studies successfully or at least happily if you don’t truly love physics and are willing to maybe suffer a bit in the process due to physics being so hard and demanding. Although I think he’s right about the impact studying physics at Cambridge might have for his future i think he chose his path fore the wrong reasons. I want to make clear that this is my personal opinion and I don’t know what the situation in Cambridge is actually like. Those are just my impressions I got from watching videos and talking to people I know that studied physics. I did this ‘’research’’ prior to my own choice to start studying physics soon too.

    @rominiyi1385 2 місяці тому

    Try your best to lay your hands on ALL the 1st, 2nd and 3rd year course books of the Open University if you are studying courses from the following disciplines - Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Statistics and Earth Sciences/Geology. These books are beautiful at explaining concepts, beautiful at illustration, have numerous examples - all worked, have numerous questions - all woked extensively with workings clearly laid out. You will not fail to understand, if anything you will be grateful to god that such books are in existence even if you don't believe in god (such as I). I didn't go to the Open University, however, I have bought nearly all their books in these disciplines due to something like 1000 times shockingly worse than what this young man has been describing here happening at my first degree univesity. I am not saying you will not need any other books - you will, however for clear teaching and understanding in these disciplines they rank amongst the very best of the best. Some disciplines have very very bad textbooks in general like chemical engineering, and physical chemistry, some disciplines have impossibly difficult and quite frankly questions and problems detrimental to mental health that you have to answer like physics from 2nd year onwards, etc, etc. So if your lecturers are sub par, disinterested, and are generally messing up your understanding, and going to their lectures is making you want to quit your course altogether, buy these books If you can't find them on Amazon or Ebay phone the relevant department at the Open University directly and ask if they have any left over books you can buy. If they haven't, tell them to put you in touch with the univesity department that deals with OU books to see if you can buy them directly from there, or if they will release some on to Amazon UK. They did release some fluid mechanics books that were being sold on Amazon UK for well over £30 pounds each on to that website which brought the price down to around £5 each when I told them about this. There are four books that go with their fluid mechanics course.. I tracked their books down all over the world in order to buy some of them second hand on Amazon sites in Germany, America, France, the UK, Australia, Canada, etc. I got most of them brand new. I wish a lot more university students new of this. I subsequently read of a prominent person who studied chemistry at Imperial College writing in a newspaper or magazine article that this was exactly what they did too. The Open University is by and large a teaching university (they do research as well, but it's remit is teaching) - that's why their teaching material is top notch. It's designed to be used at a distance. Being a teaching university makes all the difference to learning, however, research universities take all the prestige just as is being said in this video. I am not saying go and look at their lectures on-line. I am saying buy their books if you want to understand what you are being taught. Try and buy their most recent book(s) for the course you are studying, which is something you have to pay attention to in order not to buy old course books. One annoying thing is that their books have cryptic names except in maths, statistics and geology so you may have to go on to their website to decipher which course codes go with which books. It will take some time and effort but you will eventually decipher what's going on. I believe a lot of students suffer inordinately and horribly from recieving bad lectures that put them off by making things that are eminently possible to understand seem next to impossible to learn ...

    just paid $25 for one month and started up. within a few chapters it became obvious that their lessons are a joke. The lesson scripts are BEYOND SLOVENLY in their development of concepts, they skip so much of the necessary logical premises that it's like reading a book in which every other page has been torn out. The authors of some of their chapters don't seem to know that this is not supposed to be you talking to yourself, you're supposed to be moving logically through a lesson in a way that will be comprehensible to a student.
