Requirements

  • Reading: Read the chapters before class. I will not read the textbook to you during class. Rather, I will help you better understand certain materials in the textbook.
  • Class participation: You are required to participate actively in the classroom discussions.
  • Communication: You shall read your email at least once in any 12-hour period (including weekends and holidays), as I may send important announcements about this class.
  • Labs and Projects: Download the lab texts and read carefully before the labs. Finish the labs independently. You will have 4 weeks to finish your final projects at the end of this semester.
