Welcome to Physics Concepts and SAT II class (2013-2014)

Dear all,
Welcome to the Physics Concepts and SAT II class (2013-2014)!

The class will be held during the FIRST class period (2:00 – 3:30 pm), in Room 225. The room is in the middle of the second floor hallway near the open area of the auditorium.

Description for the class can be found at: http://www.newtonchineseschool.org/registration/CourseDescription.htm#physicssat2 (the link may not lead you to the right section automatically, but it is in the middle of the file.)

Textbook: Cracking the SAT Physics Subject Test, 2013-2014 Edition (Princeton Reviews). Here is a link at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Cracking-Physics-Subject-2013-2014-Preparation/dp/0307945553.

Note to parents: Students won’t need textbook during the first week. At this time, we don’t know the exact enrollment situation will be like for this class. In case of a very low enrollment number, the school may cancel the class (after the first couple of classes). You may want to wait until after the first week to decide whether to order the textbooks.

Looking forward to meeting you all in our first class!

My first entry to the wild blog world

Welcome to my blog! This is something I have been thinking to do for a long time, but never really find the urge to actually doing it for real. 

Well, that is nolonger the case. NCLS sets this blog up for me. I have no more excuse to put it off any further. The ever-present issue is still what I can put here that is worthwhile? Well, in the blog world, does it really need to be worthwhile to make your opinion heard?

Ok, let’s have some fun!
