Free Fall Question:
As you look out of your dorm window, a flower pot suddenly falls past. The window is Lw = 1.19 m tall and the pot is visible for t = 0.244 s. The flower pot was dropped accidentally from a higher floor, a distance h above the bottom of the window. The bottom of the window is a distance hw = 1.70 m above the ground.

I solved h to be 1.88m

How would I go about finding speed when the pot hit the ground

As you correctly have found, the height from the bottom of the window to the top part is 1.88 m, then, the height from the top to the ground is,
$$h=1.88+1.70=3.58\ m$$ So now,
$$0=3.58-\frac{1}{2}gt^2\Rightarrow t=0.85\ s\Rightarrow v=-gt=-8.38\ m/s$$
