¢Portfolio Posting:
All Math 1060 students must post a copy of the mass-spring project in their General
Education eportfolio. The completed project should be scanned to a pdf file and posted in
that form. The eportfolio must be linked to MyPage. Students must
also include some reflective writing about the project in the ePortfolio. The reflective
writing should include a response to the following :
Give some examples of mass-spring systems important in everyday life.
Describe why it would be important to understand the amplitude, period and
frequency of these systems. Did this project change the way you think about
how trigonometry can be applied to the real world? State what ideas
changed and why. If this project did not change the way you think, write
how this project gave further evidence'to support your existing opinion
about applying trigonometry. Be specific.
