 ==== Kick Off Questions ====
   - Read through the main problem & given code for Part 1. What does it mean for a vector (like Electric Field) to be "constant"? Can you draw a constant electric field?
-  - What would you expect the electric field to look like for an observation point at the center of the ring? What about a ring of observation points aligned with the ring (z=0) but with a radius inside the ring of charge? What about a ring of observation points with some z value away from the ring of charge? Draw these out on the whiteboard.
+  - Given a vector $\vec{r} = R < \cos(\theta) , \sin(\theta) , 0 >$, what is the value of the vector at $\theta = 0$? At $\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}$? At $\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}$? What shape is created as theta is evaluated from $0$ to $2\pi?$? What is the R in this vector?
   - Comment the Part 1 code line-by-line and make sure everyone understands what each line is doing.
