Course Format and Philosophy

Discussion

Students are required to attend two disucssion sections each week.  The discussion sections are led by a course Teaching Assistant.  In disucssion, students work through discussion handouts, solving problems both individually and in small groups.  Teaching Assistants often begin the a disucssion section with a very short review of content, then facilitate worktime.  Below is an example of a discussion worksheet based on the first WCM of Week 6: Potenital Energy and Momentum in 103.
