Aeries input after tests (usually).

Assignments will usually be from textbook or handouts.

Physics Content

Physics curriculum is based on California State Standards.

First Semester Kinematics Newtonian Mechanics

Second Semester Waves Electricity & Magnetism

Is your student spending too much time?

Should be 2.5 hours/week total. If your student is spending significantly more

time than that, have him/her come and talk with me.

This semester = more math (algebra, trig light)

Next semester = more conceptual

Times Available

Tutorials are a great time for your student to come and ask questions.

As the year progresses, I may institute a “mandatory” tutorial visit for students with low test scores. If they don’t appear, you may see an email from me.

Test debrief during class and tutorial.
