Lecture Schedule (tentative)

bullet

The lecture schedule given in the syllabus is tentative and updated here weekly. Look at this table once a week.

bullet

Almost all the slides used during the semester will be available via the following links or given to you.

bullet

I may skip several slides during the lecture (The slides given would be generally too much!). They are included in the course material for completeness and to provide a good reference for your future professional engineering life.

bullet

To follow the lecture and understand the materials presented in class better, get the lecture slides and take the print-outs of them, and please bring them to class.

bullet

Purposes for bringing slides to class: 1) To allow better concentration in lecture by reducing note-taking pressure and to provide a study-aid before and after lecture. 2) You can take your notes on these slides and be active during the lecture. You digest material much better when you actively take notes from step-to-step demonstrations given by your instructor than by just sitting and watching slides.

bullet

Disclaimers: (a) I may not follow these slides exactly in class (b) I may also use the whiteboard and give some extra notes which will not be posted here as needed in class (c) Students are responsible for what I say and teach in class. (d) Reading these slides is not a substitute for attending lecture.
