I wanted to major in physics when I went to college in 2013 (I’m 28 now), but had to drop out and have flushed out a lot of information. A lot of basic concepts are still there, but I’d need a lot of refreshers going back to like algebra lol. I’d love to get back in to studying in my free time, but I’ve completely forgotten how. Khan academy is great, but any other advice for reteaching and retaining would be awesome!

    Huh, I’d never considered that, but I think that honestly might be my best option. Looking back, in math, and physics especially, I really enjoyed the “grind” of solving a bunch of problems using new concepts

      I’m a teacher as well as a student, and while homework is something I dread, I absolutely recognize how it challenges me to demonstrate that I really have absorbed the content. Sometimes I give myself extra homework if I realize I’m struggling to retain a concept. I’m just going to keep doing that one thing until it’s natural.
