Last week went pretty well, but not nearly as many people showed up as they have in previous weeks. I believe this is because their class (Physics 1 w/ Broccio MWF) had their first exam on Monday, and it's likely the students also had other exams that week to study for.
The biggest takeaway from last week, however, is the few returnees who did show up. These are mostly students that didn't do well on the last exam because they thought they were prepared but instead were surprised. I'm glad they aren't giving up hope, and hopefully now they realize how much commitment it will take from them to learn physics properly. My advice to any UTA who has a new student come to their hours is to ask them how they did on their last test. If they did poorly, ask them if they have a plan for how to do better next time, and if they don't, help them make one based on what you did when you were in physics.
