Commuincation method: Primary communication method of this class is via e-mail.  Therefore, I strongly urge everyone of you to make sure that the e-mail address that you primarily use is used when registering for the course.

The lectures will be given in the form of mixture of computer presentations and traditional methods, depending on the situation.  It is strongly encouraged to ask questions and to engage in discussions concerning the class material.  While it is your own responsibility to attend every class, attendence will be randomly taken to be used for extra credit, and pop-quizzes will also be randomly given at the beginning of certain selected classes.   Pop-quizzes will constitute to 10% of the total credit as described in the evaluation policy.
