Solving problems can be either one of the hardest or easiest things to do in this course. Since we are still in the middle of our motion unit I would like to have a discussion about how YOU solve problems. You know the method that I tell you to use (identify knowns & unknowns, ID equation, show work and solve), but I want to know what really goes through YOUR head as you solve a problem. Here is what you need to do for this comment assignment...
1. Choose any problem on any assignment from our motion unit (make sure you identify the problem in your post)
2. Write in complete sentences exactly what you do as you solve the problem from beginning to end
3. Look back at your process and comment on whether you think this is the best process for you to use - is it effective?
**NOTE: It is NOT acceptable to simply state: "identify knowns & unknowns, identify equation, show work and solve." I want to know what goes through your head from the time you read the problem to the time you write down the answer.
4. Feel free to respectfully comment on each other's processes with tips or critiques.
