Session Reports-
Eric
Session went well. Had to take selfie in TA/office hour. plagiarized Kerrigans board work /j. Confusion on Electron weak force, but was able to overview. Not a ton going on. Apparently missing a student. Hit him with a 0.
Sidhi
New student Ava joined. Room change. Light week. Bryan Levin has come up in WIP, seems like has a track record for being creepy. Check in with Isabella R.
Kerrigan
One absence. Really smart kid, Relativity dude. Madeline did not show up to mentoring. She is double enrolled in Phys-1200 and IMP.
Paul
Marked E.V with a 0 due to being a knob and late. Session went well, shorter then usual due to short lecture. Bryan Levin is being watched.
New business-
Stuff to go over tomorrow: -Quantum Physics -Quantum Physics 1 is now just Quantum Physics. Being taught by Persans next semester apparently. Quacs is questionable currently. -Quantum Physics 2 does not exist anymore, renamed to Applications of Quantum Physics. Not official yet. - Have a discussion with the students about their goals for the semester. - Academic (not GPA) - Social interaction - Emphasize the importance of social interaction - Worksheet in box file, print and distribute. For framing goals. - The growth mindset <flexing_arm_emoji> - Registration advising - Whole physics dept gets together and listens to Dr Giedt “drone on ” - Oct 31st at 4pm @ Amos Eaton 214 - Show students how to use Quacs/SIS/Degreeworks - Make sure nobody has blocks for registration - Financial Agreement!! - HASS pathways, should take an IHSS this semester or next. - Talk about your own HASS pathway - Professors to Avoid - Shroder (teaches lab sections of physics 2, old dude) - Lim (Linear Algebra) - Wertz? - Drop Deadline this Friday - Can cry to dean but not advisable - Activities For Tomorrow - Find Lorentz Factor for << c speeds - Galilean Reference Frame activity - 3 Observers, one on a bus, one on a truck, one sitting. - A short problem: Rocket ship problem. First exercise in Mauren’s Special Relativity. Go find answer (online).
-File report ASAP -Followed Julia back to dorm -General misconduct outside of class -Bryan -Follows women around in IMP
