10/1

Our class had its first exam this week, and surprisingly no one came to my office hours. However, I did meet with students outside of class, and we reviewed some major topics that could have appeared on the exam. I could tell they started preparing for the exam--which is a great--but they had trouble understanding several topics. So I reviewed integrating electric fields and Gauss's Law, then I reviewed electric potential from those two topics. When they left, I stressed to them that they should look at their book. The example problems are very helpful, and somehow many students don't take advantage of looking at them.
