"Students (especially at high school or lower college levels) often have
a hard time deciding which variable to plot along the bottom of a graph.
A very simple memory aid suddenly occurred to me today -- "looking up"
the answer on the graph."
Sounds good to me. My lab students (in a first year physics lab course
(algebra based)) have the same problem. I'll give your idea a try this
semester.
Thanks for the idea.
