grade 12 timetable
This is probably the only time I’ve ever been mad at the guidance department at my school—and it just had to be during the most important year of high school. I’m not even mad about the teachers; I don’t hold a grudge against any of those names beneath the censor bars. If anything, I should…

thanks, prof leonard
(short lil post this time) I’ve finally finished Professor Leonard’s Calculus 1 course on YouTube, and I need to admit that this guy is nothing short of a perfect teacher.

sph4u: field theory
This summer I’ve been doing tutoring for physics (SPH4U) and it’s been great. Until we got to the third unit, appropriately named Gravitational, Electric, and Magnetic Fields. This is the first unit that has served as an actual roadblock. The previous units, Dynamics and Energy & Momentum, honestly weren’t a problem at all. These units…
