Welcome to AT Physics! Today, we'll spend time getting to know each other and answering questions about the course. We will briefly go over what is available on my website, and will start introducing ourselves. You'll get a textbook today.
Homework: Complete the Class Directory assignment in Google Classroom by 10pm tonight. I expect that you will check your school Gmail often; I will use it touch base with you. If you do not check this email often, then set up forwarding by following these instructions. Also, make sure you have reviewed the summer assignment. ❗Assessment on what you should already know going into this class is on Monday, September 15th.

Seniors in period 2 will be in an assembly Friday, September 5th during 3rd hour. During this time, juniors will have time to study for the upcoming review test. Use the summer assignment as a guide as to what you should know.
Today, we'll tackle two very difficult questions:
What is learning?
How do you learn?
We'll talk about learning in general and in this course. We'll look at some research that will help us to understand learning:
Homework: Make sure you have reviewed the summer assignment. ❗Assessment on what you should already know going into this class is on Monday, September 15th. Watch this 20-minute video for homework. Even though the video itself is only 20 minutes, most people will not spend exactly that amount of time with it. Some people will spend 15 minutes and others will spend 1 hour. For some of you, this will be easy review and for others, you'll have to work hard to learn a more standard notation. Don't forget to pause, take notes, rewind and rewatch, or fast forward as necessary. By next class, I want to see that you've at least tried the example problems at the end of the video.
