This week I had one student on Monday and one on Thursday. On Friday I had around five people. The questions are still mostly about homework. They are mostly about forces. People understand what forces are with regards to gravity and normal force, but they still have trouble solving problems. The best way for me to help students is to tell them to practice free body diagrams for different scenarios. This is the best place to start, but it also takes practice to get good at setting these up. Once that is completed, writing the sum of the forces is the next step. I have told students to do these two steps to solve problems and I think it has helped in office hours. I have not had as many concept questions, but as the test approaches students will most likely ask more of these questions.
