The Year at a Glance
Trimester 1
Kinematics → Dynamics → AcousticsTrimester 2
Work/Energy/Power → Momentum → OpticsWelcome to Physics
Hey — welcome in. I know physics has a reputation, and I know this class is on your schedule because you have to be here, not because you asked to be. That's fine. My job is to make it make sense anyway.
We're not going to live in equations all year. You'll build real things — instruments, coasters, crash tests — and the math shows up to explain what you already saw happen with your own hands.
If you're not "a math person," you're still a physics person. Show up, ask questions, and do the work — that's the whole deal.

I'd be naive to think you won't use AI on your work. I use it — so why wouldn't you? But using AI well means more than copy-pasting an answer. Ask it to explain things in a way that makes sense to you. Use it to learn, not to skip learning.
