Advice on how to approach P-Cubed: Taking notes on the preclass material is pivotal! Make sure you're understanding the homework problems, and if you're not, go to help room or make a study group (or both). Lastly, try to befriend the people in your groups. The class is much more enjoyable if you get along with the people you're working with.

What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class? Class time is your friend, and the teaching staff is there to help. Engage during class discussion if you're struggling, we can help clarify your questions that would be harder to figure out on your own. Additionally, don't be afraid to utilize the help room, we have a lovely teaching staff who WILL make sure you leave with a better understanding than you came in with. Lastly, form study groups. All of y'all are going through the same thing, it makes it much easier to bounce ideas off of one another and get clarification on things you're lost on.

Advice on how to approach P-Cubed: If you study hard in the beginning, it will make everything much easier towards the end. Additionally, pay attention to coding problems. On the test, it helps when you have an idea of what you are looking at. The in-class problems will be very helpful for thinking about coding in a physics setting.

What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class? I highly recommend the help room. The help room helped me understand some essential physics concepts. If you are willing to put in the work, the help room can make a good grade very achievable. Grades aside, it is super cool to understand what you are doing! When I did not have a clue, the help room put everything into perspective.

Fun fact about me A fun fact… Once I played on a randomly assembled basketball team—composed of sixth graders. I was the last kid to show up to the first practice.

Shortly after, I learned that every person on my new team was named Joshua.

Major: Degrees in Physics and Physics Technology and minor in Chemistry PhD in Physics specializing in Physics Education

Future plans: To become an associate professor and go to Hawaii (bucket list place to visit).

Advice on how to approach P-Cubed: The focus in this class is on understanding as opposed to memorizing. If you try to approach the exams by memorizing the solutions to problems you are going to struggle. The key is to focus on understanding how the different concepts are connected to each other. Definitely take notes on the pre-class material and bring all your questions to class - also don't ever let a question go in class - if you have it - ask it.

What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class? Definitely come talk to me or make arrangements to talk to me but also the LA's have taken the class and have been in your position and often can provide really constructive advice about how to tackle particular struggles.

Fun fact about me I'm Irish, born and bred in Dublin, and moved to the USA to continue my research. When I am not spending time with family and friends I coach a soccer team and am an amateur carpenter (built a bar in my basement which you will see while we are online).
