Week of April 10th

At my Tuesday office hours this week, one student attended for help with homework problems they were stuck on.  We solved out two of the problems step-by-step in the time the student was there but did not reach an answer on the final problem of the homework, which was definitely the most challenging.  However, the student really seemed to understand the process and reasoning behind the other two problems after some clarification.  At my Friday office hour, one student attended for help in understanding the observed frequency equation for the Doppler Effect.  The student was mostly confused on how to solve the equation algebraically, but after working through it step-by-step, the student seemed to better grasp how to solve for specific variables in the equation.
