Most of the learning in this course occurs through interactive labs that give feedback as you work through each problem. While this feedback may help, the solutions will still need to be found by you. There are many ways to solve each problem you encounter in this course, letting you improve through practice. The way you solved a problem at the beginning of the semester may not be the way you solve it near the end of the semester. Trying to solve previous labs, after learning new material, may prove insightful.
