Howdy y'all!

Today, I'll be giving y'all a brief summary of my first two weeks at college. But, before we begin, I'll give a quick introduction and explain a few things.

First, the actual titles of my courses are long, so instead, I'll be referring to them by their Subject and Course Number. So, with that in mind:

• Principles of Physics I is PHYS 2425
• Calculus II is MATH 2414
• Business and Professional Speaking is SPCH 1321
• Introduction to Engineering is ENGR 1201

Next, classes at Amarillo College either last eight weeks or sixteen weeks. For eight week courses, they either begin in late August along with the sixteen week classes, or they begin in late October. Both types cover the same amount of material. To do this, an eight week class is held each day from Monday to Thursday, while a sixteen week class has classes either on Mondays and Wednesdays or Tuesdays and Thursdays.

All right, let's begin.

PHYS 2425: During the first week, my professor went over the kinematic equations for 1-D motion. In the second week, he covered 2-D motion and vector calculations. Oh and he divided the class into several groups to conduct an experiment on 1-D motion (we do labs on the prior week's topic).

MATH 2414: In the first week, my professor reviewed Algebra, Trigonometric, and Calculus I topics, to make sure her students were up to speed before we got into Calc II. This past week, we learned about the rules for differentiating and integrating natural logarithms..

SPCH 1321: This is my only eight week class. In the first week, my teacher discussed the basics of public speaking, vocal delivery, and nonverbal delivery. In the second week, he went over ho to structure the introduction, body, and conclusion of a speech.

ENGR 1201: My professor lectured on the different types of engineers there are (such as civil, mechanical, nuclear) during the first week. Finally, this past week, she lectured about ethics in engineering.

Oh and before I forget, yes, all these classes has led to a lot of note-taking on my part, and a ton of homework!  

Anyways, that pretty much wraps it up. If any of you have any questions, I'll be more than happy to answer them.
