Welcome to the Home Page for Physics 155C: General Physics I.
In order to effectively learn physics you will normally need to invest 2-3 hours/day outside of class studying. But the important thing is to use your time effectively. In addition to your textbook I will place a few supplemental books on reserve in the library. Most people find working in groups a good way to study if it is the right group.
You can also check out my web site on studying physics, Introductory Physics: A Learner's Guide which has study suggestions and links to other pages on studying physics and study methods in general.
