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.

Attendance policy.
A student is allowed up to 2 unexcused absences. Three
or more absences will result in lowing of the grade by one level, e.g. if they get A’s level
on their project, then their course grades will be lowered to B’s.
Withdrawal policy.
Notice that if students
withdraw from the Math2200L course, they will withdraw from the Math2200 course
automatically.
How to work on projects and write your reports.
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. http://www.uga.edu/ovpi/academic_honesty/culture_honesty.htm
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 with your name, the instructor’s name, the
project name and the date you finished your project.
3. You can redo your projects; you must turn in your revised project in a week after you get
your original one. The
final score will be the average of the both.
