4.2 Discussion

Overview

This assignment has two parts. The first part (A) requires that you have reviewed the course notes for this week. The second part (B) requires you to watch some videos and respond to prompts about them.

Part A

You will first need to review the course notes for this week, and optionally attend or watch recordings of the lecture GoTo sessions.

For part A, please post at least 2 well thought out questions (more are encouraged) that you have over this week’s material. Questions should be based on the course notes or lectures and be related to Physics. These questions can include things you are not sure you understand, concepts you find confusing, or questions that go beyond the scope of this course. Questions that make it apparent you have not reviewed the material, have not been through through, or so no effort, may receive partial or no credit at your instructors discretion. Take advantage of your chance to learn. You do not need to answer them, but these questions are mandatory and part of the grade for this activity .

Your instructor will be answering a selection of these questions in a live GoTo session and saving a recoding that will be posted in the Discussion question answers assignment.

Part B

Below you will find links to online videos for you to watch. You have had three weeks of practice in answering prompts, so this week we want to hear your choice response to at least one of the following videos. Tell us which video(s) you picked, your initial reactions, and any questions or conversations the video provoked.
