This journal assignment is mostly just to help me get to know you a little bit. How physics fits into your academic program, what worries you about learning physics, what other interests you have that might help me find a way to make physics more relevant to you.
On a single sheet of paper briefly answer the following questions:
Tell me a little bit about yourself:
What is your background in math, physics, and science before now?
What are you personal expectations or outcomes that you hope for from this class?
What interests you most about Physics?
What causes you the most concern about this course?
How far will you be going in the physics curriculum -- through PH213, ..less, ..more?
What are some things that you do to preserve your sanity and have fun outside of school?
