Why?
Well, the best way to answer is to revive something I posted to my previous students:
All my many years of thinking about how to best-prepare for the HSC has been condensed and crystallised into the (awesome & multilayered) diagram below.
So,
*Before you ask about how you are going, or before you next submit a draft, homework task, experiment report or study notes, take time to ponder its’ mysteries.
*Before you even think of handing me anything, ask yourself “Should I hand in anything that is below my absolute best?” ...
& also my dear Physicists:
Knowledge is power
A razor sharp sword
But how will you wield THE SWORD?
There is a saying that a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing
How will you wield THE SWORD?
Will you clumsily and carelessly ignore what you have learned?
Will you fall on THE SWORD?
Or will you wield THE SWORD masterfully to smite your foes?
Will you wield THE SWORD to kick butt in the HSC like I know you can?
In Physics what is THE SWORD?
Or more correctly:
What is DE SAUD?

Omitting any of these is a serious Physics:
It is simple.
It is powerful.
It should be an easy decision.
But it is YOUR choice
