Physics Help Desk – Fall 2024

The Physics Help Desk is a service the Department of Physics & Astronomy provides to assist students struggling with their Physics coursework (lecture and lab). The primary goal of the Desk is to provide students with additional support and guidance to help them better understand the concepts and problems they are facing in their Physics classes.

The Physics Help Desk is typically staffed by experienced Physics tutors or teaching assistants knowledgeable in the subject matter. These individuals offer tutoring sessions on a regular schedule. They can meet with students one-on-one or in small groups to provide personalized attention and help them work through their difficulties.

Some of the key benefits of utilizing a Physics Help Desk include:

  • Gaining a deeper understanding of complex Physics concepts.
  • Receiving step-by-step assistance in solving challenging problems.
  • Improving problem-solving skills and techniques.
  • Preparing more effectively for exams and assignments.
  • Building confidence in one’s Physics knowledge and abilities.

By taking advantage of the Physics Help Desk, students can obtain the extra support they need to succeed in their Physics courses and develop a stronger foundation in this discipline.

During the Fall 2024 semester, the Physics Help Desk sessions will be held via Zoom:

  • Tutor: Rachel Koh (rachel.koh@vanderbilt.edu)
  • Schedule: Monday 3 PM – 7 PM; Tuesday 2:30 PM – 5:30 PM
