PODCAST OUTLINE:
Introduction:
Welcome to Tips and Tricks to Succeed in AP Physics, the podcast where we unravel the mysteries of mastering physics with your host Juliana Marín at The Columbus School. Join us as we dive deep into the world of physics education, sharing tips, strategies, and insights to help you thrive in your AP physics class. Today, we’ll be joined by The Columbus School AP physics teacher John Beling and dedicated student Trinidad Dominguez, as they share their expertise and experiences to guide you on your journey to success. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced student, this podcast is your ultimate companion to conquer the complexities of AP physics and achieve your academic goals.

Questions:
How are you today?

Mr. Beling I know that you are new at the school this year, what has been your experience by far?

I’m happy to hear that

Now, I have a series of questions that may help future students achieve their goals in the class if they decide to take it. First off, I want to listen to your different perspectives as a teacher and student and know, If you were to rank the difficulty out of ten, what number would you give? why?

Okay, next, I would like to hear from you Trini. What did you do to prepare before entering the course and What advice would you give to someone interested in taking the class?

Now, I want to know from a teacher’s perspective, What can aspiring students do to prepare and What advice would you give to someone interested in taking the class?

I want to know a little bit more about how the class is and how it works, and I want you Mr.Beling to tell me: what units do students see? And How long do units last?

Now that I know this, I would like to know from your different perspectives, by far, what has been the hardest unit for students and why.

What do you think future students can do to make this unit easygoing?

Trini, are there any strategies that you apply or have seen your peers apply to succeed in the course? What is the best way to study for exams and quizzes? What is the strategy that best works for you?

To finish off, what do you both think future students can do to prepare for next year’s AP physics course?

Thanks for being here and answering these questions, we had such a good time. I’m sure future students will really enjoy this podcast and all the tips, tricks, and valuable information you both provided.

Conclusion:
As we wrap up the podcast, remember that success in physics is not just about memorizing formulas or equations, it’s about understanding the fundamental concepts, cultivating problem-solving skills, and embracing the curiosity that drives scientific exploration. Whether you’re facing challenges or celebrating victories, know that you’re not alone on this journey. Keep pushing your boundaries, asking questions, and seeking out resources like this podcast to support your future learning. With dedication, perseverance, and a passion for discovery, you have the power to excel in AP physics and beyond.
