Week of 10/29

Once again, no students came to office hours this week. The latest exam seemed to go well. I am working on review sheets to help students begin practicing for the final exam and putting all the concepts together, since so far all of their test questions have been relatively straightforward applications.

Week of October 29, 2018

This week during office hours I had one person come Monday and Friday, and no one came Wednesday. They do not have an exam for two more weeks, so not many people have began studying yet. The material for this exam is rotational kinematics and torque which is more difficult than previous material, so I expect many people to come to my hours as we get closer to the exam.

Week of 10/29

Today I held a review session for the students because their Physics exam is tomorrow. We were able to accomplish a lot in the session. Topics that we mainly covered were the right-hand rule, magnetism and induction. Many people had confusion over the right- hand rule and how to apply it. We covered many problems on magnetism, such as forces on wries and point charges. Overall I thought that the students were preparing at a good pace for their exam and hopefully all the studying pays off for them tomorrow! :)

Week of 10/29

I have attended the lectures and held my usual office hours. No one has come to my office hours for now. Despite the fact that I am beginning to get busy on my end, I will send out an email soon to my mentees to see if they need assistance in reaching out to resources or need physics help.

Week of 10/29

As we move into rotation and rolling, I've already seen a good number of people with concept questions. I expect to see a lot more as we approach the third midterm, especially people who did not take AP or college physics in high school. This week, I had a small group on Tuesday with questions about torque and moment of inertia, and I expect I will have some questions about rolling and kinetic energy at the beginning of next week.

Week of October 29th

I had 2 students show up to my office Monday to review concepts of rotation and static equilibrium. I was pleasantly surprised as they both just had an exam. On thursday, no one showed up to my office hours.

week of oct 29

This week, no one came to my office hours. I was expecting my thursday office hours to be busy as there is homework due on saturday which involves torque, but maybe next week, they will pick up again.
