All the examinations given in this course are closed books and closed notes. Any objection to the grades in an examination may be placed within one week upon the announcement of the exam scores. You will be informed about the outcome in a week following your objection. Definitely no inquiries or objections with regard to grades will be accepted beyond this one-week period.

Make-up exams may be given to those who have valid excuses which are approved by the department. If you believe that you are eligible to take any of the make-up exams, you must contact with the course instructor within one week after the regular exam date. Do not be surprised if you find comparatively difficult questions in make-ups.

Presentations are extremely important in this course and your serious effort on them are expected. Presentations will provide some possible instructive means to understand the topics and their applications in full depth while keeping you ready for the exam. Try to work on it by yourself.
