Hi, I’m a first year student in physics and I’m having a hard time doing excersizes and solving problems. My problem is really that I can understand the concepts from class well enough and remember formulas and what not, but I can never seem to understand how to solve anything or apply my knowledge to tasks I’m given. It seems like all my classmate are able to just immediately start doing excersizes but I’m stuck not knowing where to start. I’m wondering if anybody has any tips or have been through the same as me. Any replies are appreciated)
