Nobody can effort to miss valuable class discussions. Therefore, attendance is a must in this
course.
Homework assignments are very important because they will help you to grasp the subject and
apply it to the real life. However, “cut and paste” type works are not welcome.
I am looking forward to this course with you as a learning opportunity.
