Review: APC 2000 FR & 1993 MC
1. Individual students will put a single problem on the board for homework credit.
2. The student putting the problem on the board will then present the problem to the class answering all questions and emphasizing the physics of the problem [15 pts]
3. All other students will submit one randomly selected problem for homework credit [15 pts]
Assign: 2001 & 2002 FR for NEXT Friday, Apr 30
Important Reminder! All Answers in the multiple choice test MUST be accompanied by clear justification! No reason, no credit! All free response answers must be accompanied by the physics principle used in developing the solutions.
