Week of 5/21

Hello physics students! Your assignment has been posted in Google Classroom – this week you will be making a video for me that explains the 3 wave behaviors we have been studying, reflection, refraction, and diffraction. I hope you enjoy your long weekend, you still have a couple of days to complete your video when you come back! After that we just have 2 more weeks of school, the end is close upon us. Look for an update as to your grade coming next week. You will be receiving it weekly if you are in danger of not getting credit.

Week of 5/11

Hello physics students! We are now in the 4th week of work since our “official” time began, and almost 2 months out from the shut down. I hope that you have all found a routine that allows you time to complete your work, exercise (don’t forget about that!), spend time with your family, and do some things for yourself. If you are working to help your family, please stay safe and wear a mask.

This week we are continuing our work on waves. We are looking at what they do when they interact with each other. You have 2 videos to watch as well as a quiz to take in iLearn. If you have difficulties with any of them, please send me an email or come to office hours on Thursday 12-2.

Grades are updated, daily when possible, but at least every couple of days. Please check student connect if you are unsure if you have completed something. It should also be marked completed with a check in iLearn when it is done.

Have a great week!

Week of 5/4

Happy May! I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend – what a lovely start to the month. I try to get out and enjoy nature, staying away from other people of course!

This week we continue our work on waves. Does it make you think of the beach and summer? Students will be finishing up their work on the velocity of waves and beginning to work on what happens when two waves meet. Please check Google Classroom for the assignments. Remember, you must watch the videos as well as do the assignments. To get an A, you must have at least a 75% in both of those areas. I am trying to keep Student Connect up to date – if you see a mistake (you think you’ve done something that you haven’t gotten credit for) please send me an email.

Peace, health, and blessings to everyone, and Ramadan Mubarak to those who observe Ramadan.

Week of 4/27

Good Morning! I hope that you are enjoying the spring weather Michigan has provided for us. This week, don’t forget to complete both the videos and the Wave on String Lab – due on Wednesday. New assignments come out on Thursday. Please make sure that you have completed all your work!

Please go to iLearn to join office hours – we will now be using the virtual platform provided there. I have placed it right at the top of the course for ease of access (it’s the round icon with the b in it – titled Bauman Physics). Here is the link as well – you need to be logged in to iLearn to access. If you can not make the 11-12 (Monday) or 12-2 (Thursday) times, please request one via email between the hours of 9-4.

I am working on getting student connect up with the new grading policy, please look for that later this week.

Week of 4/20

Good afternoon. I hope everyone received the email about the grading policy for the rest of the semester. Please make sure that you complete your first assignment this week: the video showing static electricity. Please see details in Google Classroom. If you have any questions regarding the policy, please send me an email.

We will start the new unit on Waves on Thursday – there will be some interactive lessons (mandatory), then there will be an assignment due the following Wednesday. If you have questions, my regular office hours will be at 11:00 on Mondays or between 12-2 on Thursdays. If you need help outside of those times, please send me an email to set up a time. I will try to honor any request between the hours of 9 – 4.

Week of April 13th

If you have not done so, please get on to iLearn and do the two quizzes on Coulomb’s Law (Unit 8) – that is your only assignment for this week. As usual, send me an email if you have questions. If I can’t answer via email, we will set up a time to meet virtually for explanations. Hope you had a great spring break! (As we get ready for snow :-))

Physics – Week of 3/30

Hello everyone! I hope this 3rd week of Shelter-In-Place has you started with a good routine for yourself. Make sure that you are making time to get some exercise in sometime! You will have 2 assignments this week, related to Coulomb’s Law. Please see Google Classroom for both of the assignments and when they are due. The second assignment will be in iLearn – to complete the quizzes over these 2 objectives. Once you have finished these 2 things, you are done for the week. Remember, next week we have off from school – so use the time to recharge and read a good book, watch a movie you have been wanting to see, spend time with your family (but remember to shelter-in-place). As usual, send an email if you have questions.

Week of 3/23

This week you will be watching some videos and then doing some worksheets that relate to the videos and lab you should have completed. If you are not checking Google Classroom, please make sure that you do, all assignments will be posted there. Remember, if you have been sick (hope not) or without internet (really a pain right now!), or helping your family, all work can be done late – there is no penalty. Just try to keep learning!

Happy Friday

I hope that everyone is staying healthy. Please keep in touch – I haven’t heard from some of you. I posted a new assignment in Google Classroom – it’s a lab – you get to play with a simulation. Give it a try! Please turn in by next Tuesday. The results will be summarized next week. Remember to stay active and drink, even if you are just hanging out inside.
