Rules for Discussion Forum on BB
- The Forum is intendend as a
platform where you can ask the instructor and your classmates questions
about homework. You may also ask general
questions about
the Labs. However, the questions about a Lab should not become too
specific so that they would violate the posted Policy on
Mathematica Labs.
I expect you to contact me (in person or via email) with all specific
questions about Labs.
- Here
is an example of an acceptable
Forum conversation about a Lab:
- Q:
How do I plot a hyperbola with a negative k?
- A:
See Example #N and Equation #M in Part 1.
- Here
is an example of an unacceptable
Forum conversation about a Lab:
- Q:
How do I plot a hyperbola with a negative k?
- A:
Use Plot3D[{Cosh[t], -k*Tanh[t]}, {t,-10,10}] (the formulas and
commands here are, of course, intentionally incorrect).
- Note that you are still NOT ALLOWED to
discuss ANY ISSUES related to a Lab with
anyone except your partner or instructor. See what the Policy on Mathematica Labs
says about this.
- I intend to visit the Forum about
once a day. So, if you need a quick response from me, please do not
post your question in the Forum but email me directly.
- The Forum allows you to post your
messages anonymously and to edit them after they have been posted. In
this regard, please note:
- If
you wish
to make your comments anonymous, please check the box "Post entry as
anonymous", which will appear at the end of your message.
- You also have the option to go back and edit your
message; however, you cannot delete it. When you edit your message that
you have posted earlier, please keep in mind that BB does not keep the
original content of the message but instead makes you type a new
message from scratch. So, if you want to make only minor corrections,
save the text of the message in a text file and then begin "editing" in
BB.
