My First Physics I UTA Post !

Hi All!  My name is Jessica McCullough, I took Physics 1 with professor Levy last year and I'm excited for the experience to be a UTA!  My office hours are a 3 hour block on Friday afternoons, which in hindsight I thought might be a poor decision - who wants to come to office hours on a Friday?  But today I was pleasantly surprised, 5 students stopped by and we worked through a majority of the Webassign problems together.  It was exciting to see students already digging in to the material; in past classes where I was a TA most did not stop by until we had an exam.  I'm glad they find it helpful and hopefully more keep coming!

My First Post

Hi everyone. I'm Saniya Sabnis. I am a junior chemistry major and took physics 0110 with Dr. Levy last semester. I think being a UTA will be both a rewarding and fun experience. Unfortunately no one has stopped by office hours yet this week. We'll see if anyone stops by on Friday.

Keep up the Good Job!

For those of you who have begun posting, thank you and keep up the good work! For those of you who do not know, this is a whole new era of the UTA Program. What you post here may help not only one another here and now, but also those UTA's of the future.

The UTA Program was started six years ago to give free help to struggling students. It started only in the Resource Room, where a handful of students would be responsible for being able to help all those who were struggling, but there was too much demand for it and not enough supply. Dr. Levy started a new branch of UTA's around this time, one that would not require majors to fulfill it but would still provide the help students desperately needed. That torch has been handed to me, but now there are even more students than ever who still need help.

 That's where you come in! Partial teachers, partial students still trying to impress grad schools, partial intellectual volunteers, you have the ability to fulfill the demand we desperately need. And I know, days are tough when no one needs help, and I don't blame you for doing other homework during an empty UTA hour, but for those of you who have helped a student, can you match that feeling with anything else?

It's pretty awesome.

 Best,
Hannah Sweetser

First Post !

Hi everyone,

My name is Sool Lee and I'm junior Biochemistry major and a UTA for PHYS 0110. I look PHY 0110 with Dr. Levy last semester. I hope everything goes well this semester !

So far . . no one came to my office hour . . I hope someone actually shows up tomorrow !

My Very First Post!

Hi Y'all!

My name is Nour Shahab and I am a junior psychology major on the pre-PA track and I am a UTA for PHYS 0110. I took PHYS 0110 last semester and I am currently enrolled in PHYS 0111. This is also my first time serving as a UTA for a class and I am really excited about it!

I held my first office hours yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to actually have someone show up! I hope more people show up in the future!

"First" Post... I hope third time is the charm

Hello All!

I hope this works because my last posts are no where to be found!

My name is Ali Cameron.  I am a junior studying neuroscience and I am a UTA for PHYS 0110.  I took the course last semester with Professor Levy.

I can't wait to start and I hope everyone has a great semester!

So this is really just a test post to see if things are working correctly for my computer and Blogger, I will start with an introduction.

My name is Kevin Woeppel, I am a sophomore Bio engineering student, and I am a UTA for the physics 0175 Basic physics for engineers 2, my hours will be from 7:30-9:00 pm in cathedral of learning. If anyone wants to contact me just go through my pitt mail, kmw103@pitt.edu, I check it quite regularly and will try my best to get back as soon as possible.

Anyway, I hope to have a great year with everyone!
