Withdrawal Policy:

If a student withdraws from a lab, the student must withdraw from the regular course-MATH2200. Students may initiate their own withdrawals on OASIS.

 

 

How to Work on the Projects and Write Your Report:

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 and the reports, however, must be written by yourself. Each student must sign her/his report after the academic honesty statement at the end of the report. 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.

The following are about how to write your report

(1)   Your report on a project should be a clear and complete presentation of the project topic, the steps in your investigations of the topic, and the results of your investigations;

(2)   Each report should begin with an introductory paragraph in which you introduce your topic and give an idea of the approach you will take to your investigation;

(3)   You can redo your projects; you must turn in your redone project in a week after you get your graded one. The final score will be the average of the both.
