Be Systematic, and You’ll Find the Red Line across Your Physics Problems

        We should know that learning productivity is not marked as achieved value. But, the true meaning is put on ourselves that we can say as thinking satisfaction. Have you ever questioned yourself about your achievement, does it impress you? Or does it represent your competence? Sometimes we just neglect it by said “whatever, but I got a good mark”, short sentence that can shut up the rebellion inside our mind.

Successful learning or productive learning can be obtained when we’re able to transfer our knowledge to the others, by meaning of self-understanding about the subject we learned. In education world, the term of evaluation is introduced, both as test and quiz or other assignment. Evaluation becomes transfer medium of information and knowledge from student to teacher. How much understanding that student have, will be evaluated by teacher via general examination, with the mark of 60, 75, 90, 100, or A, B, C, D as quantitative benchmark that shows final result.

As succinctly described above, we know that the key of evaluation process is how to transfer our knowledge with objective appraisal. It is simply said that student who answer the question systematically will be highly regarded than the student who answer the question practically.

        Talking about systematic thinking, we should also do the same thing in order to learn Physics. In Physics, there are a lot of problems describing natural phenomenon and its circumstances that must be solved. Sometimes we feel dizzy, what kind of equation we should put off, or generally how we can solve them.  Basically, if we think systematically and write down the problem systematically, we will be able to find the answers at least we can transfer the problem we face on to the reader. That’s why the systematic answer in Physics problem has advantages both the answerer and the reader.

Here, the steps are:

* Given                         : (Attaching all data provide in problem set).

* Find                            : (Re-writing the main question)

* Schematic                  : (Illustrating the problem into sketch/diagram physics)

* Assumptions             : (Writing down the problem circumstances)

* Solution:

       - Basic theories      : (Showing up all theories used in solving problem)

       - Analysis               : (Corresponding the data, main question, diagram physic, and problem circumstances with basic theories to find out the solution)

       - Comments           : (Giving some notes to the answer)
