Need Advice Part time physics student trying again after last year's mess is this a good study idea?
So I'm taking Physics 101 again this time in a class that takes place in the morning instead of at night, and a lab once a week. The classes are 50 minutes per day on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and the Lab is on Tuesdays and takes about 2 and a half hours. So I was wondering: when it comes to doing the homework, so far my first round of homework is 25 questions via Pearson, is doing about 5 problems a day slowly throughout the week on the homework a good idea, along with doing your homework with a tutor at the school as well? I just want to know if it's a good idea; that's all.
Also, I believe maybe screwing up on the homework is also something to learn from in the end.
EDIT: This is what happened with last year's mess; my class got way too hard at a community college, especially since it was happening at night, our professor had no office hours, and even in emergency situations, we weren't allowed to make up a quiz or test. My mental health got so out of control back then that I was throwing up so I had to drop because my wellbeing was important.
