Course description.

The calculus labs have been designed to give you an opportunity to investigate math problems in greater detail than in the calculus books. You will work on projects and write reports on them with the aid of Maple, a computer algebra system.

Course grading.

Grades will be based on a student’s performance in the 6 projects and one quiz, the quiz has the same weight to one project. The quiz will be given at beginning of one class; there is no notice before the quiz. The score needed to get the various grades are: A: 90%-100%; B: 80%-90%; C: 70%-80%; D: 60%-70%; F: 50%-60%

Attendance policy.

A student with 5 excused or unexcused absences will be withdrawed from the lab before the midterm withdraw deadline, after that, I will assign WF for the final grade.

Withdrawal policy.

If a student withdraws from a lab, the student must withdraw from the regular course-math2200. Students will initiate their own withdrawals on OASIS.

Additional information.

1. Instructor of this lab is not supposed to teach you how to work with problems and the projects, but will be available to help you with Maple as you work. You are encouraged to collaborate with each other--form a small group of two or three people. The projects can be done with your team work. However the reports must be written by yourself. Each student must sign her/his report after the academic honesty statement at the end of the report. If this statement or signature is missing, then the report will not be graded and will be returned to the student. All students are responsible for maintaining the highest standards of honesty and integrity in every phase of their academic careers. The penalties for academic dishonesty are severe and ignorance is not an acceptable defense.

2. You can redo you project, you must turn in your redo project in a week after you get your graded one. We will take average of the both.

3. This course syllabus provides a general plan for the course; deviation may be necessary.
