Important information:
• Please be on time for the lectures. Presentations and class discussions are very important parts of
the course.
• The class syllabus might change slightly.
• Please try to read the material before coming to the lecture.
• Group work and discussion is strongly encouraged, but the written and presented work
should be absolutely each students work unless stated.
• Information regarding the course will be communicated through Blackboard and MS Teams.
• Keep track to what I post on the course website.
• Generally, there will be a quiz at the end of every chapter.
