Evaluation
-Assignments will form an important supplement to the lectures as well as test the student’s understanding of the material discussed in class. Late homework will not be accepted unless there is a valid excuse.
-The Team Project should give the students the opportunity to work, and hopefully enjoy this work and knowledge sharing.
