After greeting Cecil College Professor Gail Wyant’s physics class with a customary “Roll Tide,” frequently uttered by University of Alabama students, fans and supporters, Kara Parks shared a story of how her previous coursework in North East paid dividends more than 900 miles away on a fluid mechanics exam in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
“One of the test questions required us to not only know the current material but also the three classic kinematic equations from Physics I,” she said. “Luckily, I had to memorize those equations in Professor Wyant’s class and was not thrown off. Many of my peers ran into issues because they could not recall the kinematic formulas or did not even recognize what formulas should be applied in that case.”
