Grading and Other Policies
1. There will be 4 labs, 6 quizes, 2 hour-exam and 1 two-hour comprehensive
final. Each lab is worth 5 points (total 20), each quiz 2 (total 12),
each hour-exam 18 (total 36),and the comprehensive final is worth 32 points.
The comprehensive final will take place 4-6 pm on October 15. There will
be no class on October 16.
2. Lab assignments are done by group of 2 or 3.
Students who are caught copying their lab. reports will
receive a zero for that assignment.
If you are caught twice, you will be given an NR for the course.
If you feel that your lab. partner isn't doing his/her share, please
talk to the professor about it.
3. A 15 minute quiz will be given approximately once a week. Problems
will be taken from the homework (see link below). You are expected to
do the homework on your own although they will not be collected.
4. At the end of the course, the instructor will total up your scores and
arrange them
in descending order. He will then find large gaps and use that
as cut-off to assign letter grades. However, passing grade (C) will
not be lower than 65 (but may be higher). You should keep track of your
scores so that you know where you stand. Grades can only be contested
within 48 hours of the return of the exams.
5. No makeup will be given without a legitimate reason. If you are ill,
you must provide a written note from your doctor describing the seriousness
of your condition. A note from a nurse saying that you have been seen at
the health service is not sufficient.
6. No calculator will be allowed during exam or quizes. However, a cheat
sheet will be allowed in the hour-exams and comprehensive final.
Schedule and Syllabus
Labs
Labs are handed out electronically. The links below will lead you to the
labs. Lab 0 is for students that have never used Maple before. Students
that have used Maple may skip Lab 0.
Each lab report must be of the following format.
A cover page with
the title of the lab and names of the people in your group and their section
number. It is then followed by your typed answers and at the end the report,
your maple print out.
In your maple print out, you MUST state clearly
which question you are answering. You may also write your answers directly
into your maple worksheet. The important thing is that your answers must
be typed and clearly labeled so that we know which question you are answering.
There is also the
Maple Lab Manual if you need help on Maple.
- Lab 0: Introduction to Maple (Not to be turned in).
- Lab 1: Infinite Series.
- Lab 2: Taylor Series.
- Lab 3: Polar Coordinates.
- Lab 4: Parametric Curves.
