week of 9/24

We had our first exam this week. My office hours are on Tuesday, and the test was on Wednesday. 4 students came to my office hours in order to prepare for the test. The extra practice problems on Sapling seemed to be more challenging than the regular homework questions as all four of the students asked questions about these problems. However, the problems were very helpful, as they ensured that students had an opportunity to exercise problem solving skills and their understanding of concepts. Most students had a great grasp on mathematical concepts and just needed clarification of physics concepts as they pertain to projectile motion.
