- Unless otherwise stated, all problem sets are to be done together in your study groups. I expect one paper to be turned in for each study group. If there are disagreements within the group, spell them out in that paper.
- Be sure to do every part of every question.
- Be sure to explain carefully how you got each answer. The reasoning process is crucial.
- Do reality checks. Do the results seem reasonable? If they don't seem reasonable, say so, even if you don't know why!
- Carry units and cancel them to make sure that the units of the answer are correct. In particular, be careful to distinguish length, area, and volume.
- Use metric system and powers-of-ten (scientific) notation, it's much more error resistant.
