AP Vector Labs

I was very disappointed in one particular aspect of the performance on the vector lab. Despite explicit instructions to find the vector sum of A+B graphically and also find A+B+C graphically only a handfull of reports showed both operations. They should be done on separate sheets.

The purpose of the lab was to provide exercises that would allow you to understand the validity of the head to tail method and more importantly get a hands on intuitive feel for adding vectors other than simple displacements. Please be more conscientious in the future.
