Week 9-10

During week 9 I had two students come to my office hours. We discussed torque and angular acceleration, as that is what had been taught in class that week. The problems that they had were pretty advanced, so I could tell that these students were staying on top of their work and were most likely doing very well in the class. We had no trouble working through the problems together. Unfortunately, my office hours are held in a lab in the geology department so we often have several other students in the room finishing up the labs. However, the room is plenty big so this hasn't had a detrimental effect on helping the students. I had no office hours during week 10 because the university was closed for thanksgiving break.

Week 11

This week there were 2 students that came in with questions on the concept quiz.  There was a homework question that they had trouble with as well but the question ended up being excluded from the hw by Dr. Nero.

Week 12

Bhupinder Singh Physics 1 Professor Broccio Tuesdays 6-7:20pm This week we had no class, and the exam was the week prior, so no new material was taught. Since most students left for break early, I didn't get anyone to come into my office hours. Upcoming are the last two weeks of the semester, so I have a feeling a lot of students will show up. Hopefully, I can be of help to them.

Week 12

Week of thanksgiving break-

There was no homework this week and no test so it wasn't much of a surprise when no one showed up for my Monday office hours from 1-3. I saw a lady bug though so that was pretty cool. We have off on Wednesday so I will not be holding my Wednesday office hours this week.

Week 11

Pretty low turn out for a test week.

The week of the other tests I had a large turn out with a variety of homework and test questions. This week I only had 3 people on Monday and one on Wednesday and they had homework questions and that was it. Hopefully everyone did well on the test.

Week 11

Dr. Broccio
Tuesday 6pm

This week I prepared for office hours by reviewing the homework assignment, watching the videos associated with this module, and going over some of the practice problems for the midterm. Nobody appeared for my first hour, but I had one student (who consistently comes the week of exams) come for my Thursday hour to review her equation sheet and look over some of the practice problems last-minute.

On Tuesday I had a think-aloud hour, and I believe I was able to provide the student with some help with her thought process and approach to problems involving torque and angular acceleration. Next week is Thanksgiving break, but I will still be holding my Monday office hour; I don't expect any attendance, but hopefully I will be surprised.
