Switching Seats

We had a short week, only 2 days of physics but they were both succesful days. We did more metric conversions and conversions. Thursday we switch seats and I'm much happier with the switch. Now I have a table who will discuss the topic and help out. Amazing huh? Switching seats definatly made me happier in that class. Aside from that I'm franticly typing to make this 12 AM mark.. Short week anyways, but I am much happier in thay class and are now enthusiastic for future whiteboards and groupwork.

Whiteboard labs whiteboard labs whiteboard labs and so on

This week we only had two days of physics class so there isn't much much to say. We did more whiteboards (again) and had the same usually topics. How we got our formula and who was right. It's alright when we do the whiteboards but I don't say much. Mostly I feel it's because we figure something out and then go into IMMENSE detail about it. So that being said, once we get the topic done I just wait for them to finish. Now, don't say I'm just trying not to participate because I do try, in my head I try and think of what to say but by time I have something figured out, we are onto the next topic. Physics is actually the class I talk least in. Only 2 classes last week so there wasn't much to say being that we did the same thing.

The Direct Line Debate

It's my second blog for physics class and there isn't much new to say. One problem I'd like to address is that we spend so much time on things we don't need to. Everyone understands the topic then someone keeps on going and confuses everyone which cause a hour long debate. We haven't really done anything new yet, just graphs. My ways of identifying a direct line is, i think, the best way too but I don't think my classmates understand my method. It goes like this: If a line is direct. It will go infinitly through quadrant 1 and 3 OR 2 and 4 . My poorly drawn example: 
Notice how the line goes through quadrant 2 but not infinitly like the line does in 1 and 3.

Aside from my rant, we haven't really done anything else. Short blog but good tip
