Laboratory Activities: Laboratory work is an essential part of the course. Students are required to attend all five labs. Labs will
start on October 10, 2016 (below see the lab schedule). Please directly go to labs 16, 17, 21 and 22.
Attendance: You are expected to attend all classes. You should know that your success in the course will improve greatly by
attending class regularly. It is important that you should arrive to class on time so that class can begin with no interruptions.
Homework: Weekly assignments (web based) will be given to help you practice the things you have learned and help to keep pace
with the course. It is important to do all homeworks yourself. Students are presumed to have high standards of integrity. To reinforce
these standards, METU Honor Code, http://www.fbe.metu.edu.tr/tr/odtu-onur-ilkesi , will be enforced.
Grading: The grading will be curve-based. Your grade in this course will be based on homework (5%) attendance (5%), laboratory
work (10%) and exams (1st midterm 22.5 %; 2nd midterm 22.5%; final 35%). But they may change.
E-mail: We will use e-mail to communicate with the class. These e-mails will be sent to exxxxxx@metu.edu.tr address, therefore you
sould check your e-mail account on a regular basis.
