Grading: Final Exam 100% Attendance/in class discussions/Research Presentation will be considered at marginal cases.

Announcement: It is mandatory to have one presentation for each person who officially registered. Please send me e-mail request as soon as possible if you still haven't done so. The topics were taken if there is a name assigned. Each presentation is expected to be 15 minutes with 2-3 minutes Q&A. You are welcome to use Wiki, Google, ChatGPT or other AI-assistance. We are planning to have two review sessions on April 20 and April 22 and have the final exam on April 24 lecture time. The final exam is close book test covering 28 Letcures and Chapter 1-8 from textbook. I will take some questions directly from the 4 Homeworks so that we will review the Homeworks/Solutions at two review sessions. Homework 4 is assigned today and due on April 13 Monday.
