On Monday I had a lot of students who were going over last-minute concepts before the exam. Their questions ranged from going over which equations to use in which scenarios, what the problems on the exam would be like, and questions on the book problems. The book problems were fairly tricky, but we were able to work through a couple of them. Based on previous experience with Broccio's exams, I knew that the extended response problems on the exam would not be as difficult as the book problems.
On Wednesday after the exam, I had one student who was having trouble on force. Though this material was ahead of what was being taught in lecture, another TA and I were able to give her a basic understanding of force and friction. We helped her on her homework problems and she was able to understand them for the most part. Once this material is covered in lecture, it will make a lot more sense to her. I hope the students did well on their first exam!
