Abstract
We’ve all experienced it in one way or another: bright, eager students start the year ready to tackle the biggest challenges in physics and life. Yet as the semester wears on and the physics gets more challenging, student enthusiasm waivers. They lose confidence and feel pressure to prove themselves worthy of a difficult and sometimes intimidating major. This pressure can inhibit physics students from performing at their full potential.
