Tentative schedule. Please check frequently for updates.

Please be aware:

(1) Lecture topics do NOT necessarily follow the order of the schedule;

(2) Topic contents may need more or less time than what is allocated. It is the students' responsibility to attend each class and find out the exact coverage of the course materials.

(3) Quiz will be given almost every class in a non-specific time. It is the students' responsibility to attend the class on time.

(4) Experiments will be conducted in the week after the lecture.

(5) "No class" in the following table is for the lecture; not for the lab session.

(6) For the "make-up" sessions, you need to make an appointment with the TA.

(7) Please be on time to your lab session. This will be good for you to finish your experiment on time. As a penalty, you will lose 5% of that experiment if you are >15 minutes late; lose 10% if you are 30 minutes late.

(8) Don't copy others in reports. Plagiarism = Failure in reports = F in this class!
