Going into unit three I'm not really 100% about the last unit. I'm still iffy and maybe this is translating to this unit. I don't really know what we are even studying right now (a few classmates agree), and how it will expand into a larger unit. We've gone over the fact that heat is not energy, but it is rather a form. Makes sense to me, and that temperature is very much different in the sense that is simply a measurement of temperature.

Regarding the class I am now a lot more comfortable with the people and it seems like everyone is okay with each other. It's not like a lot of other classes where people can easily turn on each other. Maybe that's because this environment is more constructive? Maybe so. Still, it's good to see the constructiveness of the other students. I am actually a little glad to switch seats every unit. It lets us meet new people and we aren't grouped with the same people for such a long time, vs classes that *may* offer us to switch seas every quarter, or even every semester, or even all year...not cool.

Concerning the recently assigned project, I'm not too happy about the whole thing. Why? I remember last year I did many pointless, time-consuming projects from H Physics that only frustrated me and taught me nothing. I guess they were supposed to make the class 'fun' but I never saw any fun it the activities. The best part is, if it doesn't work, this 'fun' project affects your grade. The previous project was easy, but that doesn't change anything. It was still pretty stupid. It didn't really teach me anything, and it consumed time. This is the same thing. Only this time, it is taking more time, and more work. And now the grading is competitive? The project better be weighted very little, because some people won't be very happy.
