Weeks 2-3
I've had at least 2-3 people visit my office hours these past two weeks. Majority of questions asked were about the homework. Students primarily struggled conceptually with certain kinematic problems using the wrong values for certain variables or not realizing the value the question was asking for.Overall my experience with helping the students were positive and they are starting to have a change of thought in questioning the nature of questions and values instead of just plugging in values given into an equation. There were numerous complaints about the sensitive formatting of the homework system expert ta with students submission not fitting the right response just in the wrong format. A number of students also asked me to notify the professor to extend the homework deadline to tuesday at midnight instead of tuesday's at noon in order to get help from their recitation and lecture professor. Professor Wu was very cordial and complied to the delight of the class.
