Week of 2/19 & 2/26

It seems I completely forgot to post last week, so I'll be making up for that here. The last two weeks have actually been pretty busy as we were preparing for our second exam this past Friday. I had students during each of my office hours and we spent plenty of time going over difficult problems and concepts that were confusing. We went over everything from homework problems to lecture notes, and I was able to clear up most of their doubts. In class, I answered questions related to clicker questions, confusing subject material, and problem-solving. As the semester progresses, the material is starting to get more difficult and I believe this why I'm seeing more students in office hours. I hope everyone was able to put it all together for the exam on Friday and they can continue to work hard, as the last exam will likely be harder than the previous two. Best of luck to them and hope you all have a wonderful spring break!

Week of 2/19 and 2/26

Hello everyone,

The past couple weeks I have been getting the same consistent 4-5 students come to office hours in preparation of the second Physics 1 exam on forces and work-energy theorem.

I believe these students I was helping were prepared for their Friday exam before spring break.

I am excited to hear how they did!

Best,
Mahmoud

Week of 2/26

As Usual no one came to my office hours this week. I helped my classmates and my roommates in their physics 2 to make them understand some concepts like potential, voltage division in a circuit, and complex resistor combinations.

Week of 2/26

I had two office hours on Monday, right before the students had their second exam. The previous weekend, I worked on their study guide and brought my old physics notes and exams to office hours. I had visitors the entire time, so I was able to structure my time more. I think structuring the time was very useful, as the students were able to ask questions and I could follow a topic list, more or less.

2/26/18

No one came to office hours this week. Some students seem to have issues with magnetic flux (how area has a direction component) and the direction of the induced magnetic field as a result of the induced current.

Week of 2/19/2018

Was an average week. Only one came in. Same old same old. helped him with his problems then he left and nobody else came. Thought more people would be coming with spring break around the corner and midterms. Not much to report.
