PHYSICS: Great start with net vertical force! Don’t you think it’s the same as horizontal – just turned 90 degrees? And incredible demonstrations of some important concepts! Thank you Payne & Logan, and thank you Joseph! Awesome! I love, love, love watching you make physics come alive!
Overall, this has been a good week in Physics! I actually like this chapter, and it has made more sense to me than some of the previous ones. Although I’m still having trouble with a couple of the problems from the past two homeworks, I have definitely seen improvement since we have been reviewing and practicing in class! I think that once I get the chance to really focus in on and practice the troublesome problems this weekend, I will be able to perfect them. Tonight’s homework went a lot more smoothly (maybe because it was super simple, but I don’t need to tell myself that haha–improvement is improvement, right?)! I’m a bit worried about writing up the Capstone lab and STARTING A NEW ONE, but it will at least be a good opportunity to learn how to navigate that vast and confusing computer program! I also need to work on time management for this upcoming test–I think I will be able to nail down the concepts, but I can’t forget to budget my time because that’s what really gets me!
This week in Physics has been a little difficult for me. It’s definitely not the hardest thing we’ve done this year and I’m actually understanding it better than I expected, but still not completely. However, I absolutely loved the problems right after we added a friction component in, so maybe I’ll come around with these vertical force problems haha! I think I will feel much more confident working these problems once I take the time this weekend to rewatch vodcasts and work problems.
I finally have a good understanding of the problems we’ve been working, but now that we’ve added vertical forces, I am very lost. Last night’s homework (Friday’s homework on the syllabus) was really rough. I used the Vodcast and my notes, and I just do not yet understand how these problems are similar to what we did in class. I definitely need more practice. Could we possibly have a help session?
I actually feel pretty good about this week in physics. I mostly understand what we are learning. I am a little stressed out about the test, but as I redo the homework I hope to improve my understanding. I definitely need to practice time management for the test, as I keep running out of time and making stupid mistakes.
This week has been a good one for me. I really understand the problems that we are working on right now and I’m getting better and better everyday. The only thing that I got completely caught up on and probably the most confused I’ve ever been was when we were rotating the triangle to solve the problem. It screwed me up but I finally figured it out. I’m feeling good about the test. Even though my test taking skills aren’t the best. I’m going to practice and do my best.
We have learned a lot this week. I understand where everything is coming from and I think I just need to practice now. Conceptually I understand but when a new element is added I start to worry. I am going to watch the vodcasts to see where I am really struggling. The test is worrying me slightly but I am going to study this weekend to see what is really hard for me right now so that I can ask questions on Tuesday.
This week in general has been very stressful for me. With so many absences, I have been caught behind with many of my classes. I was able to catch up today with all of them except for Physics, so I am going to use my time this weekend to get back on track. I understand this lesson and enjoy it, though, so it should be fun to catch up. With so much going on; however, I did forget to do Science in the News. I can’t believe I missed such an easy assignment. Regardless, I am looking forward to catching up and getting back on track for this next week.
I felt much better about this whole chapter by the end of the week. However, once we moved on to vertical forces I wasn’t so sure again. But I know if I go and think through all the problems this weekend I will be much better at it come Monday.
This week started with confusion but ended with success. I was confused from last week and not sure what i was doing but i was able to catch up and understand the new lessons. When we started to do the elevator problems the questions just clicked for me and I’m happy to say i feel 100% confident in physics. I finally was able to get every question right on my homework the last time this happened was about four weeks. I am confident for the test coming up. I am going to be reviewing some of the trickier problems from the beginning so I won’t forget how to work them for the test.
This week was very ominous to say the least. I always live this clas and all the difficult problems we do, but we are slowly running out of material. This is so spooky to me because that means there is a test coming up and I am not as mentally prepared as I want to be. I enjoy studying so intensely for these tests, but with basketball season starting the Tuesday night of the optimal time to study, I am worried that wouthout proper time management I could watch my grade slip. I plan on studying all Sunday and Monday for this test though. Learning to study more than the night before has always been a struggle of mine, unlit I’m excited to learn how to conquer it these next few days.
This week in physics has been very stressful for me. I understand it just about every time we work problems together in class, but as soon as I begin the homework, I completely blank out. Now my top priority this weekend is reworking the last 2 or 3 homeworks to not only get them turned in for the grade, but also for me to make sure I understand how to work them for the test. I am very nervous about this test as it will be the only test grade going into my average up until this point; however, I am going to begin studying for it this weekend so that I can hopefully do well on it. I just need to watch my time!
