It was the week before Spring Break, and I know a lot of the students were slammed with exams. I got a good amount of scores in the 80s and 90s, but the Cs were missing. Lots of Fs. I know it wasn't an impossible exam, but it really gave a bimodal distribution of scores. Sigh. Physics does involve different problem-solving skills than what most of them come in equipped with.

Hang in there and keep plugging away!! The end is in sight (I think it's that tiny dot off on the horizon)-but spring break is next week for me and is obscuring my view of the actual end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10180370.post-57059756728521776642007-03-18T11:57:00.000-07:002007-03-18T11:57:00.000-07:00I'll go with that. ;)I'll go with that. ;)Dr. Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11736304410226354515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10180370.post-33160567635269109122007-03-18T01:08:00.000-07:002007-03-18T01:08:00.000-07:00The answer is always them.The answer is always <I>them.</I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
