Attendance and Grading Policy
Attendance will be taken every meeting time. A student who incurs absence should
arrange in advance with an instructor of another section to allow him/her to
attend class as a make-up student. A student may miss up to two classes without
penalty. A student who misses three or more classes (without make-up) will have
his /her grade lowered by one letter grade. A student with 5 unexcused absences
will be withdrawn from the lab, regardless of the number of make-ups. The final
grade is the average grade of total seven projects.
Withdrawals
A student that withdraws from Calculus Lab must also withdraw from the Calculus
class.
Format of Report
Your report should begin with the title of a project. Your name should follow
after the title.
1. An introduction must follow after the student’s name. Absence of introduction will result in lowering one letter. In the introduction, you may summarize what will be investigated in the project, and describe what was interesting to you.
2. The Body will be mainly stating and answering questions in lab manual (or
in the tutorial file) and justifying or explaining the answers mathematically.
If a student writes a paragraph in body to explain what Maple commands the student
is using, it will result one letter lower. e.g., please, don’t include
in your report sentences such as
“Now, I use solve command.”
3.No conclusion is required.
The Academic Honesty Statement and student’s signature should be included
at the very end of each report. Students are encouraged to work together with
other students; however, the reports should NOT be identical. That is, students
are supposed to use their own words to explain their works. If this statement
or signature is missing, then the report will not be graded and will be returned
to the student.
