Out of curiosity, would anyone be interested in a chapter review session led by me?
Here’s what I’m thinking.....
We can get a room on campus with a wipe board,and multimedia equipment
I’ll open with a 10 or 20 minute review of the chapter (starting with chapter 3). VERY short, just a laymen’s overview of each section.
We’ll finish by working problems as a group for the next 40 minutes or so.
After that people would be free to leave, or stay and collaborate on other problems.
I have the perfect room for us this Sunday or Monday, Sept 6th and 7th - Labor Day Weekend. (unless I score DraconCon tickets, then screw you guys. There are some excellent science talks both days) It has a large conference table, wipe board, and projector. It even has a parking lot for all of us right out front.
Any other day is going to be pretty tough. There are two rooms in the Social Science building that I can request, but I have no idea if I’ll get them or not.
If you interested please leave a response. If you're only interested in working problems let me know that as well. Let's not waste time going over the chapters if no one wants it.
*disclaimer
I’m only gauging interest right now, scheduling this will be very tough for me (and everyone else), schedule wise.
I have NEVER taken a Physics course before. EVER. If you already know what you’re doing, you’re probably ahead of me. All I offer is my perspective on the material in the book.
This class seems like a bear. It’s probably going to take much more than just study groups to learn the material.
