I was a part-time teaching assistant for freshman physics in summer. I always noticed some common mistakes committed by students when I was grading their quizzes.

To avoid this in the future, I was wondering if educators and those who have teaching experience with freshman physics have collected a list of common errors/mistakes committed by students over years.

I tried Google search but with no success. Any helpful links will be greatly appreciated.

Make-a-list question. Endless answers none of which are "right" because every single one is right or at least rightish. – dmckee♦ Aug 23 '12 at 1:13
