Course Textbook - No textbook is required. - The lecture materials will be derived from a number of background papers and textbooks. - Various reading material and research papers will be given. 0 - 6

Course Evaluation 1 - Assignm ents, reports, and presentations: 5 0 % of the final grade. To be done individually. 2 - Project: literature survey report. To be done individually. 2 0 % of the final grade. 3 - Tests : 1 0 % of the final grade. OPEN book, notes, laptops, etc. 4 - Final exam : The final examination will count for 2 0 % of the final grade. OPEN book, notes, laptops, etc. 0 - 7

Expectations - The literature survey and the reports are 7 0 % of the final grade but that does not m ean you w ill get m ost of this grade even if you do poor w ork. W rong assum ption - When I ask for a survey or a report, it has to be well done. - Do not assume that you will pass without enough work because I’m your advisor. W rong assum ption - For the survey and the presentation, you will need several meetings with me to get guidance. - 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) 0 - 8

Expectations - Focus in classes and take good notes - Get help early if you need. It is your responsibility to seek help from the instructor. - Begin studying the material the same day it is presented – do not accumulate lectures – the number of slides may be large – each lecture builds on the previous ones. 0 - 9
