Grading my physics exams this week. I can’t tell you how many times I wrote “Be Exact” when grading Newton’s third law. The devil is the details, a broad statement could be missing the point.
Grading my physics labs this week. I can’t tell you how many times I wrote “Be Exact” when going through what the student did in their expeirment.
Will you darn students “Be Exact”!
But wait, oh man, I going to through reviewer comments on my own paper and guess what they are saying…
