Physics

Second semester is underway and the curriculum has transitioned to physics. They've started by studying the physics of waves (wave properties, different types of waves, and the Doppler effect). It seems that the biggest problem that some of the students are having with the material so far is with retention. In some of the worksheets, a few students initially have trouble answering questions because the don't remember the wave properties. However, when I ask them to describe the waves in question they are then able to answer the questions.
