Midyear Exams!

mskissel — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 16:11:45 +0000

January 23 is the date of the physics midyear.

We’ll be doing some review in class, but you’ll need to spend time on your own reviewing everything you’ve learned this year. Start studying early!

Exam times/rooms:

A block: 10:45 in room 237

C block: 10:45 in room 236

F block: 8:30 in room 300

G block: 8:30 in room 301

Conflict times for AP Physics: 10:45 Tuesday in 370 or 8:30 Wednesday in 370

F block quiz Monday!

mskissel — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 17:52:26 +0000

Yes, you will still have the quiz on Monday even though I am out sick today. You should know all that we’ve learned about vectors. Be able to add them, find components, and use angles to describe direction.
