Note: This syllabus will probably change during the semester.

Course Objective: This course will use MAPLE to supplement the material covered in MATH 2200: Differential Calculus.

**NOTICE: MATH2200L is a co-requisite to MATH2200. If you take one, take both. If you drop one, drop both. Oasis does NOT automatically drop you from MATH2200 when you drop MATH 2200L, nor does it drop you from MATH2200L if you drop MATH2200. Do both manually.**

A note on saving work: There are many options to use to save your work, such as floppy disks, USB flash drives, or emailing your work to yourself as an attachment. It is highly recommended that you use at least 2 distinct methods to save your work.

Academic Honesty: Please don't cheat or even look like you're cheating. I am obligated to report anything that I think even might be cheating. Students are encouraged to work together on projects, but you must write the projects up on your own, in your own words. Please review the university's academic honesty policy, which can be found at http://www.uga.edu/ovpi/academic_honesty/culture_honesty.htm.

Attendence: Students are expected to attend all labs. Missing more than 3 labs will drop your grade by a letter. Attendence will be taken each class. If extreme circumstances occur, please notify me by email.

All labs for this course are available online at http://www.math.uga.edu/calclab/calclab2200.

Submitting Labs and Grading: Lab assignments will be submitted through WebCT and will be due the following Monday at 5:00pm. Late submissions will not be accepted. Only submit a lab once. Once the lab has been uploaded, I will consider it completed and grade it as is.

Each lab assignment will be graded on a total of 100 points. There may be online quizes at some point in the semester, and each of these will be graded out of 100 points as well. Your grade will be an average of the points earned from the total possible points.
