Discuss answers, then answer again

Whenyou meet a willing study partner

Choose a conceptual question with a reliable answer. Each answer alone, then explain your reasons to each other. Answer again independently, check the source and try one related question. Repeat this sequence at your next study meeting.

Each choose an answer before discussing it.

When it slips

Agreement is not the answer key. If you remain unsure, ask a knowledgeable teacher or use a better source.
