Hi. Welcome to physics 139a. Soon I will post a course outline and the first homework here. For now, we would like to ask for your input regarding the discussion section for this class.
To provide some context, the discussion section is not generally mandatory (you probably know that), but it is a valuable resource for help with HW, concepts, etc. There will be some difficult HW in this class and quantum can be challenging and/or confusing the first time you go through it in a mathematically serious way (though once you understand it there is a simplicity that is appealing). Anyway, I think you may want to avail yourself of the help the discussion section provides. Additionally, I have been thinking about the practicality of doing some testing (midterm or quizzes) in a few of the discussion sections this quarter. (There would be prior notice...)
Currently, the discussion section is scheduled for 7:00 to 8:30 PM Wednesday in ISB 231. (That is a good room, I think, because the tables allow for interaction.) Another possibility is Tuesday at 4:00-5:30 PM, in ISB 235 (also a good room; just a little smaller).
Please let us know you opinion regarding that, and what day and time would be best for you. Please post something, as a comment to this blog, to let us know that you have seen this. If you have no opinion, or are not sure yet, that's fine, but please post something.
In case you want to get a head start, look for more posts over the next few days and this weekend. See you Tuesday!

Hello,
ReplyDeleteEither time works for me.

Hey everyone.
ReplyDeleteThe Tuesday evening section would work better for me--I have a class Wednesday evening.

Physics 11 is Tues 4-5:45pm. I am sure I am not the only one taking it. Therefore, Weds would work better for me.
ReplyDeletePerhaps a later time on Tues or earlier on Weds?
Weds works better for me as well
ReplyDeleteEither time works for me.

ReplyDeleteI too am taking the Phys. 11 course on Tuesdays. Wednesdays would be better, or perhaps later on Tuesdays.

Agree with Wilson and Jerome: I am taking Physics 11 too, so Tuesday does not work. Wednesday would be better for me, preferably, before 6pm.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback. I guess the physics 11 conflict pretty much eliminates Tuesday 4 PM. How would people feel then about an earlier time Wednesday, if we can get a good room, or should we stick with what we have (7PM)?
ReplyDeleteEarlier Wednesday would be better for me, but 7pm is a possibility.

PS. I just found out that we can get the room for 6 PM or any later time on Wednesday. Also, any earlier conflicts with another physics class.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on enrolling in a M/W class from 5 - 6:45, so if the Wednesday time gets moved down, hopefully it doesn't get moved down too much.

Wednesday evening will work for me.

I've got a 7:00-10:00 on Wednesday, so the 6:00 would work better for me.

Any time Wed would work ok for me.
ReplyDeleteWednesday evening works for me as well.
