The exercises are organized by chapter and indicated by group-work or individual, and by style of exercise:

• Concept inventory: Simple questions to see if the students read the chapter before class.
• Short answer: Questions that require a sentence or two to respond.
• Group discussion: Small groups should discuss a concept. Often useful to help students overcome cognitive dissonance.
• Problem solving: Solving problems to learn how to apply concepts.
• Homework review: Students benefit greatly by seeing each other's homeworks.
