Introduction

Welcome to Math 2210L. This class will meet once a week on Fridays, 2^nd period, in room 220 of the Grad Studies building. No food or drink will be permitted in the lab. Cell phones must be turned off. Students are expected to be in the lab at the beginning of the period and stay through the entire period. You should visit the course homepage to get more general information about the calculus labs.

Attendance

Attendance will be taken sometime during each class. You are allowed to miss two classes without any penalty. Each additional class missed will reduce your final grade by half a letter grade. If you miss a lab, there is a procedure for making up the lab, but the lab must be made up within two weeks of the one that was missed. In order to make up a lab, you will need to get a make-up slip from me. You may only sign the attendance sheet when it is passed around the class. If you do not sign the attendance sheet in a given class, that class will be counted as missed.

Grading

You will work a set of Maple projects in the lab. Each lab should be turned in on time either as a hard copy (printed out) or submitted to me electronically as an e-mail attachment. If you plan to submit work electronically, you should send me a separate e-mail at the beginning of the semester with a password. In place of a signature at the bottom of the report, you should type in your password. This will act as a signature. Lab projects not having a signature will be returned ungraded. At the end of the semester the lowest lab grade will be dropped and an project average will be determined from the remaining lab grades. The project average will count as 85% of the course grade. The remaining 15% of the course grade will be based on several in-class short quizzes. These quizzes will be announced the week before and will cover the most basic Maple commands as well as some of the basic material from the regular calculus course. Some quizzes will be on paper and some quizzes will be on the computer. Many of the projects have extra credit sections. By doing extra credit, it is possible to obtain a score higher than 100 on the project.

Projects

The projects that we will be working in this class will be posted here. If you go to the 2210L project page, you will see that there are more projects listed there than we have time to work. We will be doing a subset of those projects. It is also possible that during certain weeks you will have a choice of doing one of two specified labs.
