Note on true/false HW: For true/false problems, you do not need to follow the book's directions. Instead, if a statement is true, you only need to mark it as true. If a statement is false, mark it as false and give a counter-example WHEN POSSIBLE. When possible, also modify the false statement to make it true. See examples covered in class on 1/22.
