| | Re: My last five ''law problems'' Looks fabulous! However, the problem is that there are four choices, 1., 2., 3., and 4.  For example, Example
Student's answer: (D)
Teacher's answer:  (Give the reason (D) is correct)
Student's answer: (A)
Teacher's answer:  (Give the reason (A) is incorrect !NOTE, do not at this point give the correct answer. Hold off. Wait. Let the student choose again. 
Student's 2nd try: (B)
Teacher's answer:  (Give the reason (B) is correct and tie it into the reason (A) wasn't correct)
All my best. |

| | Re: My last five ''law problems'' Difficult, my answers are based on feeling only, mostly I cannot explain why it has to be like that, it has to sound good.
I think I'll leave this to the real teachers and only try to help in very simple and obvious cases |

It's not a rule.  Your way, feeling your way through, is fine. As long as you can explain it in a way that has the poster taking responsibility for their work, it's all good.
Keep up the good 'feelings'. |
