Week of 12/2

During the week I didn't have that many people in my office hours until the last day.  For one student. we went over new concepts regarding waves of light and frequency.  Another student came in with questions on the last exam.  We went over all the questions he had missed and just talked about the right answer and how to arrive there.

Week of December 2

This week I had people come to all of my office hours. I received questions on the last test they took that they had just recently gotten back as well as questions about waves which will be on their final exam.

week of 12/2

I had 4 Students attend office hours this week. Their questions revolved around waves and sound with most being about understanding harmonics. I also ran through with the students the topics we covered this semester in preparation for the final and provided the students with tips about the final and how to prepare.

week 12/2

Most of my office hours was empty and class was cancelled the day before. On Tuesday, a lot of students in class asked me how best to study for the exam. They were very concerned after exam 3 and I spent a lot of time just talking to them. Hopefully they stay calm and do well!

week 11/18

There were more questions regarding torque and springs this week. There was a question from physics 2 as well regarding magnetism. I used a part of my office hours to go through a few of the text book problems to have some more practice problems worked out for any students who want some before the exam.

week 11/11

No one came from my section, but I tried to assist with this one question on springs from their homework and there were questions on torque.

week 11/4


This week no one attended office hours. I anticipate more questions next week about torque and forces.

week 10/28

Worked on conceptual problems and answered a few questions that some students had asked me at the end of class the previous day (I had to run to a meeting that day, but said I could explain it to them at office hours).

Week of 12/2

This week was filled mostly with questions surrounding differences between longitudinal and transverse waves, applications of the sinuosoidal wave equation, and construction of snapshot and history graphs. Students also asked me for advice on studying for the final exam.

Week of 12/2

This is the last week before finals, there were quite a few different units that were covered at once such as springs, standing waves and pipes, so the class was pretty fast paced. I did have one student come to my office hours Friday, I was able to help her with a couple homework problems relating to historic vs snapshot graphs for waves, as well as with thermal energy transfer.

Week of 11/18

This was the week of the 3rd exam, and while no one showed up to my office hours proper I was able to help a couple of students privately right before the exam, specifically questions relating to angular kinetic energy which seems like one of the units people seem to be struggling with.

Week of 11/11

This week while nobody did show up to my office hours the professor did go over quite a lot regarding angular momentum and energy, so I did help quite a bit during the lecture.

Week of 11/4

This week was relatively quiet, during my office hours nobody showed up since the second exam recently passed, though I do anticipate more as the third exam approaches. And I was able to help quite a bit during office hours.

Week of 12/2

No one came to my office hours and the professor cancelled one of the lectures. I will be available to any students who want to review before their final/go over the practice problems I created.

week of 12/02

No students. I have communicated with the instructor to host additional office hours for last minute questions the night prior to the final exam.

Week of 12/2

This week 3 people attended my office hours. The first day a student had questions about a previous exam question. We reviewed it and I helped explain the concepts of the questions and clarify his mistakes. The next day two people attended and they had questions from Sapling HW that we reviewed. They had mainly conceptual questions and asked about the best ways to prepare for the final.

Week of 12/2/19

One student came to my Monday office hour. She asked some questions about phase difference in interference.

Week of 12/2

No students came into my office hours this week. I submitted my final lecture summaries and Hw solutions. I also am scheduled to host a review session next week and have been preparing topics and specific questions to go through during that session.

Week of 12/2/19

No one attended my office hours again this week. However we had our final exam. So I walked around and answered students questions when they had them.

Week of 12/2

No students in my office hours this week. When I was a UTA in another course, there were always a few students who came regularly to ask questions about the course. This semester, for whatever reason, those types of students were absent from my UTA experience. Lecture ensures that I am still interacting with students, but my office hours have been very quiet throughout the whole semester. Overall, I have still enjoyed the moments I had to work with the handful of students that did visit.

Week of 11/18

A quiet week as a UTA. There was an exam, and surprisingly, I saw no students during my office hours. Curious to see if I am more busy in the following weeks.

12/2

I had one student come into my office hours. I clarified the concepts of latent heats for state changes and the relationship between heat and temperature change to her.

Week of 11/18

This week one person came to my office hour, and I helped her with her homework problems.

Week of 11/11

This week two people came to my office hour. I helped them with their homework problems. I also taught them how to calculate torque/moment by using the cross product.
