TAs please use our conventions:
v = i ⋅ R
If the head-to-head convention is not satisfied, then either v or I must be
p = v ⋅ i

i
v
made negative. E.g. ∴ v = −i ⋅ R
p>0 is power consumed e.g. in a resistor
p<0 is power sourced e.g. from a battery

KVL: voltage is + if one comes to the + side of a voltage
e.g.
KVL: -vB+vR1=0
(later KCL: current entering a node is +)
