This week, I had two students come into my office hours. Both of them were having trouble with problems involving force: how to set up diagrams, how to derive equations from them, and how to use the equations to solve for acceleration, or tension, or whatever was specific to a given problem. One of the students was having particular trouble with problems involving blocks on ramps, so I gave her a mini-lesson showing her the basics of these types of problems. All in all, everyone seems to have a good grasp of the material. I've yet to have a student from my section come to my office hours, however.
