If you have some remaining questions on problems that I already showed how to do in class or in homework solutions, I like to ask you to discuss your remaining questions between your classmates, first. If you do not have any classmate nearby to talk to, then please leave your question here for your classmates to help you. This would be a more efficient and more meaningful way to help you learn and to help me evaluate your (and your classmate's) progress. If no solution emerges, then I may intervene.
[General Note] Your email inquiries about problems in homework or practice exam (or anything) will continue to be OK with me, but if the nature of your question is a simple "please do it again" type, then I will ask you to do this first: post your question on this blog site as comment and ask for help from your classmates. Also, although I try to respond to your email questions as best as I can, it is sometimes not possible to do so due to my time constraint.
[More Notes] In preparing for the 2nd midterm, please know that your efforts will pay off also in the final exam (since the final will cover many of the materials you are studying). For general advice about this type of course, I just found a yet another, potentially helpful list: http://physics.ucsc.edu/~josh/6A/studying_physics.html. One last thing: you should make sure that you get enough sleep tonight.
