GaVS Physics B: Week 8 Update
18 AND 16 week Spring 2017
This Week's Focus: Waves and Sound
We will finish our study of Waves this week and begin our study of sound. Specifically, we will be working on our Waves Labs. We will also take our Waves Test on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, February 28th @ 6:00 PM, we will have an Adobe session in my classroom.
Are you taking advantage of the extra learning opportunities?
I have been offering extra learning opportunities (extra credit) for watching the Adobe sessions (either live or the recording). They are quite easy - answer 5-10 questions about the adobe session and earn an extra point (which usually equals at least a few percent) on your test! Remember, our tests are worth 40% of our grade, so these are quite helpful and have brought a few students from grades BELOW 70% to grades ABOVE 70%!
Plus, you might learn something from the Adobe session, which could help your grade even more!
As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me:

Assignments Due Wednesday (3/1/17)
| Late Work Are you turning in work late? One way to improve your grade is simply turn in your work on time! I've seen quite a few students who had A's or B's on their work, but because they turned in their work late, they lost up to 30% and these pretty good grades ended up being less than 70%!! A great way to reduce the amount of late work you are submitting is to work a little bit EVERY DAY on GAVS stuff. Then, when Wednesday rolls around, you will already have your work in! Another great reason to turn in your work early: if you turn it in early, I can get a chance to grade your work early and allow you to make corrections before the Wednesday due date! | Adobe Help Session Our Adobe Help Session this week is Tuesday, February 28th from 6-7 PM. Don't forget to attend and bring your questions about this week's assignments so I can answer them before your assignments are due. If you can't attend the session, the recording is posted IMMEDIATELY after the session. |
