HELP!
Need help in 1120? Don't panic! There are a lot of resources available.
- NEW: The Student Academic Services Center
is running physics 1120 workshops! Please contact Zac Eichmeyer (eichmeye@gmail.com) There is more information here. For other information from SASC,
Check the SASC webpage , or call their tutoring office at 303 492-8761 (Do this soon if you're interested!)
- If you are unhappy with your test scores, don't panic. Please take a
look at our advice, comments, and suggestions . There is no universal answer, but we have lots of general
thoughts there that might help you turn things around. After reading
that, if you'd like to come see Prof. Holland OR Pollock, check out the "TA's and
office
hours" link, or just email us!
- Have you looked at our virtual office hours? (Someone may have already asked the very question you have.)
- Visit or email Prof Pollock or Gurarie. Office hour information is all available here. We can answer questions about physics, about grades, about studying...
- Visit a TA during their office hours. There should be someone (not necessarily associated with Phys 1120) there 9-5, M-F. Our own 1120 TA's particular
hours are listed on the help room page . You can go to your own TA or LA, but any of the many people working in this course can help you.
- Form your own study group. Find some other 1120 students and work with them - the help room is a good place to find people, but you can ask around in class, or where you live... Study groups can be great (if you can stay focused on the physics!)
- Here is a set of tutors (for pay)
organized by CU. (We have no connection with them, though)
- The physics office (across from the base of the physics tower)
keeps a list of physics grad students who will tutor privately for $$$.
(Caveat emptor - some are great, others are not, and I don't know them well
enough to be able to give any recommendations :-(
