Conference Articles
Abstracts of Papers:
This paper discusses the authors attempt to provide better feedback on problem sets and a way to provide more different problems for students to work. All students need to learn how to work problems and need to know if their work is correct or not. The author provides one method and briefly discusses others available. Problems encounterd are also discussed. One may ask why one should go through all this work when there are products on the market that will do many of the same things for not much money. One answer is similar to why create your own labbook - using someone elses labbook is like using someone else's toothbrush. This allows one to ask questions the way you want and the way your students will see them on a test or quiz.
