Course Evaluation 1 - Project: literature survey report. To be done individually. 3 0 % of the final grade. 2 - Presentations/ Assignm ents: 3 0 % of the final grade. 3 - Midterm : The midterm examination will count for 1 0 % of the final grade. OPEN book, notes, laptops, etc. 4 - Final exam : The final examination will count for 3 0 % of the final grade. OPEN book, notes, laptops, etc. 0 - 5

Expectations - The literature survey and the presentations are 6 0 % of the final grade. Do not assum e that you w ill get m ost of this grade even if you do poor w ork. W rong assum ption - Do not assume that you will pass without enough work because I’m your advisor. W rong assum ption - For the survey and the presentations, you may need to meet me to get guidance. Understand well my expectations. - Class participation: Your input is needed for good discussion - Fully understand the slides, lectures, and assignments - Be on time (if you are late enter the class quiet) - Focus in classes and take good notes 0 - 6

Expectations - Get help early if you need. I t is your responsibility to seek help from the instructor. - Begin studying the material in the same day it is presented – do not accum ulate lectures – the number of slides may be large – each lecture builds on the previous ones. 0 - 7
