Questions

>1.) I have a question on problem #30 in the text assignment. >Where do you get dimmension information or do I need to >assume dimmensions? > >

I don‘t have a copy of the text in front of me. A question must be self-contained. On this problem, for example, if you mention something like ‘window area estimate‘ then I‘ll know what you‘re asking about. > >

One way would be to make a sketch of a typical side of a typical house, then measure the dimensions of the side and the dimensions of the windows. Figure out the areas. > > Quicker and just as good: Make your sketch. Then try to fill the rest of the wall with average-sized windows and see how many windows it takes, compared to how many you originally had in your sketch.

> >2.) I have worked through rough estimating problems but >don‘t seem to understand them completly. Could you explain >estimating? > >

This question needs to be more specific. I can‘t improve here on the explanation given in the book, though I might be able to write an alternative explanation. Sometimes, if I think the book‘s explanation could be improved upon, I do that. However that‘s not the case here. > >What I can do here is address specific questions about specific problems, where you tell me what you do and do not understand about a given situation.

> >3.) Are we supposed to submit the homework assignment or just do them? > >

Do them and come to class with the problems done, because there‘s a good chance you‘ll need to repeat part of your explanation of a problem on a quiz.
