Question for Moderators of Homework Section

[hotvette]

I've added hotvette's files into the HW discussion thread in Gen Physics. This also contains Marlon's and arildno's tutorials.

Many thanks for this. Time will tell whether it ends up being useful to anyone...

CURRENT TUTORIALS AND TEXTS

1. Newtonian Mechanics, Motion on Inclines, Work Energy Theorem by Marlon.

2. Classical Systems With Variable Mass And Other Geometric Systems by arildno.

3. Classical Mechanics, Motion under Gravity, Motion on Inclines by hotvette.

This is a great way to crisply summarize available tutorials and how to get to them! Is there any chance the PF staff would be willing to put what is inside the above quote as a sticky in the Homework Section with a title of 'Tutorials'?

It seems to me there would be more 'hits' if a sticky with this title were in front of the faces of the students. Also, if additional PF staff approved tutorials were to be created, the sticky could be edited to add another line item. Anyway, just a suggestion...:shy:

Hotvette, if I'm not mistaken, the PF staff are currently engaging in discussions of, among other things, how best to incorporate the tutorials into the Science Education Zone.

Not mistaken at all. We're already discussing the next remodeling project, and are drawing up the blueprints with tutorials in mind.

Yes, it's true.

Hotvette, by all means keep doing what you're doing for as long as you care to. Just because we've been quiet here, it doesn't mean that we aren't watching and approving. It's just that lately we seem to be "in conference" so much in the Mentor's Private Forum.

 

[hotvette]

OK, thanks for the feedback. Maybe this tutorial can be a trial run for a while to see if it really helps anybody out.

With the reorganization of the Science Education Zone, we now have a forum dedicated to tutorials. I've moved the post in this thread containing the final version of the tutorial as a new thread there. The new location is:

If anyone else is inspired to prepare tutorials, please make use of the new forum.
