The structure of this course makes your individual study and preparation outside
the class extremely important. The lecture material will focus on the major points
introduced in the text. Reading the assigned chapters and having some familiarity
with them before class will greatly assist your understanding of the lecture. After
the lecture, you should study your notes and work relevant problems and cases
from the end of the chapter and sample exam questions.
Throughout the semester we will also have a large number of review sessions.
These review sessions will take place during the regularly scheduled class
periods.

Withdrawal (pass/fail)
This course strictly follows grading policy of the School of Engineering and
Applied Sciences. Thus, a student is normally expected to achieve a mark of at
least 60% to pass. In case of failure, he/she will be required to repeat the course
the following term or year.

Cheating/plagiarism
Cheating or other plagiarism during the Quizzes, Mid-term and Final
Examinations will lead to paper cancellation. In this case, the student will
automatically get zero (0), without any considerations.

Professional behavior guidelines
The students shall behave in the way to create favorable academic and
professional environment during the class hours. Unauthorized discussions and
unethical behavior are strictly prohibited.
