Re: 6.071
I learned most of 6.071 during the review sessions preceding tests.
I had a good recitation instructor, but I've never been reluctant
to go to another recitation section if the other instructor was
better. In addition to the usual review, your instructor and/or
TA may be able to help you during office hours or on their own time.
I know this sounds like standard, boring advice, but if you can get
a good instructor, you can learn more in one hour than you would
have in a full semester of lectures. Also, have you asked any
upperclassmen from your living group? If you are from a dorm it's
harder to get that kind of support, but if you don't ask for help,
you won't get it.
Since you are taking 6.071, I assume you're a (non-electrical)
engineering major. Maybe it would help if you though of
electricity as a fluid. That usually helped me. (I was course 16)
Another, potentially risky, idea is to ask that guy who is
allegedly "out of your league" for help.....
Remember, the semester will be over soon.
Good Luck
