Criteria Feedback
- Your investigation has a clearly defined and consistently sustained research question.
- You connect the physical circuit context to the mathematical method effectively.
- Your method is purposeful and appropriate, with an analytic benchmark and numerical approximation used together.
- You evaluate the accuracy of Euler’s method in a focused and coherent way.
- A slightly broader comparison across step sizes would have strengthened the investigation further.
- The justification for choosing the specific evaluation time could have been made more explicit.
