Week of 12/3

This week I did not have anyone in office hours which was surprising because it's the week before finals. I went to the lectures and we had our last grading party.

12/3

This was the last week of office hours, and I only had one student show up. He asked me to read through his second exam, and we reviewed all of the problems he missed. Additionally, to prepare for the final, I walked him through several common exam questions. The main focus was on capacitors and magnetic fields, as well as Gauss's Law.

Week of 12/3

No students attended my office hours or review session this week. I had hoped that I would be able to help more students this semester, but I did learn from the few I had the opportunity to interact with.

This week I had two students come to my office hour on Friday to review material before the final. The one student had been someone I had seen a few times before, and I was impressed by her improvement of conceptual understanding as the end of the semester neared.

Week of Dec 3

This week was surprisingly quiet. No one came to office hours and I only had meetings with 2 of my mentorship students. I helped them develop a study plan, and I think the final will go well for them..

Week of Dec 3

This week, one student visited my office hours. I expected more because the final is next week, but I guess students are busy with other classes. Additionally, several students emailed me with questions. I felt that I was able to help to the best of my ability. 

week of dec 3

This week was my final week of hosting office hours as a physics 1 TA. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Even though there were times where no one would come, I was grateful to have helped the people who did come and know that I helped their understanding of physics concepts.

Week of December 3, 2018

I had people come to my office hours everyday this week, which I expected since their final exam is next Tuesday. Mostly people wanted to review their old exams and correct concepts they did not understand the first time around. Overall, I have enjoyed being a TA for physics 1 and will miss helping students.

Week of 12/3

Unfortunately, no one came to my office hours any of the days this week. I presume it is because everyone has many exams right now and don't have much time for office hours. It was a great learning experience being a Physics UTA and I really enjoyed it.

Rosh Bharthi Week of 12/3

The week went as usual, attending lectures and my office hour. No one came to my office hour, which was surprising since the final exam is next week. Also, my PhySHIP mentees have not contacted me. It has been a quiet last week and an interesting experience being a UTA for the semester.

11/26

This week, only one person came to my office hours. The final is quickly approaching, so I was expecting more students to come to office hours. Regardless, I helped the student begin his homework, which involved integrating to find magnetic fields from a current wire. I walked him through an example problem that was similar to his homework, and he was able to complete the rest on his own.

Week of 12/03

I had three people at office hours this week with homework questions, but no one asking about the final. I've really enjoyed UTA-ing this semester and would love to do it again in the future when I'm not taking as many credits as I will be next semester. To anyone reading this, good luck on finals and enjoy break!

12/6

This is my last week as a UTA for this Physics 0110. I am surprised that there has been a lesser number of people coming in these last few weeks. My last office hours are tomorrow, and I am hoping at least the few people who regularly come in stop by. Overall, I had a great time getting to know students during office hours. It was sometimes a challenge to learn how to express theoretical concepts or thought processes, but overall it was very rewarding.

Hatridge Week 14

I had a total of three students come in this last week of office hours. Most of the material we went over was going over old exam questions, study guides, difficult homework questions, and concepts about waves. I wish all the students luck on their final exam! I enjoyed being a UTA this semester and am happy to have helped my fellow students.

11/26

This week I was not able to go to two of the lectures. I went to lecture on Friday. I held office hours on Thursday but nobody came. My mentees have not contacted me to meet about the final (except one) so I am just going to send them some advice for the final about how to study and words of encouragement.

Week of 11/26

This week I did not have anyone in office hours, however, I was able to help the students with their group work problems in class. This week we covered single slit diffraction and lenses. I hope to have a final review session during finals week to help the students prepare for their final exam, along with office hours!

Joshua Howe 12/3/18

Its the last week of the semester, and thus my last forum post. I did not have anyone come in last week, which really surprised me; maybe everyone just understands waves better than I did. I don't expect to see anyone today, but I probably will on Wednesday and maybe on Friday. I wonder how many I will actually see, though; I'm sure everybody will be doing last minute studying for upcoming finals. The Freshman Engineering program is no joke.

Week of 11/26

Unfortunately, no students came to my office hours this week. I'm hoping that as the final nears more students stop by for help.

Week of 11/26

Nobody came to office hours this week, which isn't a surprise. My lecture is starting to finish up with material and I was able to get space and time to hold a final review session next week. I hope students take advantage of it.
