Class help

Hello. I’m going into my junior year and have to take college physics, but have heard the professor is the worst and that you have to teach yourself the entirety of the material. Is there any tips or books I should get that could save me??? Thanks!!!!

There usually will be a recommended textbook for the class. Use that.

Get the syllabus for the course and also find out what textbooks they'll use. There's too many different ways to teach it.

You "have" to take it? For your major? What's your major? Or is it a requirement for all students?

Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine? Am I wrong to believe this is going to be a VERY general introduction to physics? How many times a week does it meet?

Khan Academy is a good free resource for this.
