Week of 2/27
Many students came in with pre-exam questions, mostly pertaining to kirchoff's circuit laws. I feel like this is an area that is not really explained well enough in most physics classes, so I am glad that I was able to help a lot of students better understand this concept and several other relevant concepts.

Week of February 27th
No students from my Physics 1 class came to my Tuesday office hours. However, I did assist a student from another Physics 1 professor's class with some book problems on work and energy. One student attended my Friday office hour for clarification on a homework problem and several "Check Your Understanding" questions from the textbook on impulse and momentum. After explaining the concepts and working through the homework problem, they seemed to have a better grasp of the material as a whole.

Week of February 27
I was only able to make it for my first 2 hours of office hours this week. This was because I was held up at a previous meeting and unfortunately couldn't make it on time for my last hour. I also lost track of time.
However, I was able to help a couple students during my first session. I had 2 students show up this week and they had questions specifically from the homework which I was able to assist them with. The questions were mostly dealing with momentum and impulse theory and once they understood the concepts and what the question was asking, they were able to figure out things themselves (as usual).

Week of February 20
First of all, I apologize that this post is coming a little bit late.
However, last week I had 7 students show up to my office hours. It was a bit crowded this time especially because I got a couple new faces from Dr. Broccio's Physics 1 class (which I TA). Most, if not all, of the students needed assistance with some of the homework questions. The homework questions were quite challenging this time around so I and the other TAs who were present did our best to explain what we could. I also got other questions from other sources like the textbook from those who were preparing for the upcoming midterm exam 2.
Asides from my normal office hours, I held a one-on-one tutoring session with a student from my class to help go over confusing material and answer other questions she had in preparation for the exam. This session was an hour long approximately.

Week of 2/27
Tuesday office hours were very busy since not all the sections had taken their exam yet. Several people came looking for clarification of certain concepts, mostly involving magnetism, before the exam. No one came to Thursday office hours, probably both because the exam was so recent and because spring break is just a few days away.
week of 3/2
this week I only got one student came in at my very last minute of session, but i stayed extra 30 mins, she ask about question from homework, which is about impulse!
since this week is test week, and especially the week before spring break, so yeah, there is literally no student came at all!
but hope everyone did well in there test, I feel the test is kinda challenging, you have to really know the concept order to ace the test!
have a good break!
