I was wondering whether it would be wiser to finish up my undergrad this year, or if I'd be better off taking a fifth year to complete it. My university does not grade with + or -, so a low B is represented exactly the same as a...

    What are some useful tips for studying physics over the summer?

    Hi everyone, I'm a physics undergrad entering my third year and decided to get really serious with my studying over this summer. Of course this means lots of practice problems, and questions! I hope to see a few of you around. :D
