The Challenges of Honors Physics

Honors Physics is a big change from various middle school sciences. It is a class that requires you to think and use logic, which, although not vastly difficult, is a step up from previous courses . So far, the problems are not extremely challenging, I just need to apply what I have learned and use logic to solve them. This is a step up from the middle school, which just required us to regurgitate facts and substitute variables into formulas. Once I can get into the mindset of thinking on my own, this will help me think through each problem carefully and not make careless errors. Finally, Honors Physics cannot be learned just by paying attention in class. Voluntary extra work outside of school is required in order to understand and retain the problem solving skills.
