注意事項
Notice for Students | | It would be best if you can consult the textbook beforehand in order to choose the chapter you would like to make a presentation on. If several people want to make a presentation on the same chapter, we might have to sort things out at our first class so it will be advisable for you to think of 2nd and 3rd choices of chapters.
To NUPACE students: grading of this course is finalised in late August. If you need your grade earlier, you are advised not to take this course. |
