In reflecting upon AP Physics since the day I recieved the summer homework assignment to the first three days of school, I've gained important insight upon what will be required throughout the school year. Over the summer, the workload (sorry it's still in the process. almost done though) was introduced to me in a not surprising, but different way. For instance, I was supposed to start off working in an easy book (Hewitt) by doing problems which posed barely any difficulty. After that, I worked in the more "AP like" book, Giancoli, but only on chapter one. The book and its problems were not as hard as I thought they would be, guessing from my experience with AP Chemistry and the problems I had to solve from it throughout the year. Although I know I was given a somewhat comfortable start, I am prepared for the increase in work and rigorous college style teachings of Mr. Tillay. When I first entered the classroom, I was a little surprised of how small it was, aside from the fact that there were "ONLY THREE" people, including myself, to have signed up for it that had came from AP Biology. Majority of the students were returnies from his previous Physics P class. Seeing that they were extreamly comfortable around his presence, I started to observe the character of my new teacher. As time passed, I was introduced to what the school year was to contain and how it was to be taught. One of the main things that i really liked was the style of Mr. Tillay's teaching/lecturing. I feel that his teaching style will be one of the closest to college style teachings I will have encountered throughout high school, aside from some of my previous AP classes. Although it will take me a few weeks to adjust and settle in, I know that I can benifit from this class and its teacher. Tomorrow, but by the time I post this blog, today, will be the first lab we will be performing. From a personal standpoint, I like doing labs because they create an in-depth experience of learning. I will be looking forward to it, along with all the other things and surprises he has for us for the next 177 days of my last high school year. Wish me luck.
