What This Document Provides
The document includes: three quantitative problems relating to significant figures, gas laws, and isotope determination; instructions for completing associated Sapling homework; a list of permitted resources (textbook, class notes, Blackboard); and a clear statement of the academic integrity policy. It also lists available Teaching Assistant (TA) names and recitation times. This preview does *not* include the solutions to the problems, access to the Sapling homework, or the full text of the course syllabus.
