After completing Problems 3 and 8 take a look at how these problems are graded: Problem #3 on pages 23-30, Problem #8 on pages 48-75.


Work in groups to determine what you and your partner would have scored on your test answers for these problems. What might you suggest you should work on to make sure you get the highest possible score next time?
