Expectations

• The literature survey and the reports are 7 0 % of the final

grade but that does not m ean you w ill get m ost of this grade even if you do poor w ork. W rong assum ption

• When I ask for a survey or a report, it has to be well done.
• Do not assume that you will pass without enough work

because I’m your advisor. W rong assum ption

• For the survey and the presentation, you will need several

meetings with me to get guidance.

• Class participation: Your input is needed for good

discussion

• Fully understand the slides, lectures, and assignments
• Be on time (if you are late enter the class quiet)

Expectations

• Focus in classes and take good notes
• Get help early if you need. It is your responsibility to seek

help from the instructor.

• Begin studying the material the same day it is presented –

do not accumulate lectures – the number of slides may be large – each lecture builds on the previous ones.
