Jan 23-27

This week was relatively average in terms of attendance to my office hours. Around 5 people came in throughout my 3 hours with varying questions on the homework. Luckily, projectile motion and kinematics are some of the more straightforward topics to teach in the course, and we were able to make a lot of progress in areas that students were struggling in. I've found however that some of the homework questions assigned in ExpertTA can be downright tedious/unnecessary. Some of them are so picky with getting the exact equation derivation correct that it just wastes time and causes students stress in ways that doesn't even benefit the learner in any sort of way I can see. Anyway, solid work this week, more to come
