You may communicate with lecturers through emails to discuss your questions. For students who have more learning challenges, individual office hours may be arranged to have special consultations. Learning and Teaching approach Approach How does this approach support students in achieving the learning outcomes? LECTURE Course materials covering all topics. To facilitate understanding of complicated concepts, multimedia animations and video clips are included in some lectures. TUTORIAL Tutorials are integrated in the 3-hour session every week. Reading and References There is no single textbook for this subject. The main reading materials are the lecture notes and multimedia animations or video clips presented during the lectures.

Course Policies and Student Responsibilities To pass the course, you need to obtain an overall course grade above F. For tutorials falling on holidays, makeup sessions will be arranged. For those of you who can’t attend quizzes, owing to legitimate excuse, makeup quizzes will be arranged. Home assignment submissions must be in time. Any late submissions will not be considered, unless a strong justification is submitted and approved by lecturers. Discussions among yourselves for home assignments are allowed. But you need to use your own language to describe solutions. You are expected to take the following responsibilities: page 5 To attend all lectures. To complete all assignments individually and timely. To attend all the quizzes. To attend the final exam. To engage discussions with lecturers during tutorials and online interactions. Academic Integrity All students shall be treated equally and fairly in the grading of their home assignments, quizzes, class participations and final exams. There will be zero tolerance of cheating in home assignments, quizzes and final exams. Any violation of this kind shall result in a zero mark, and possibly a failure grade of this course. It is the lecturers’ responsibility to ensure course materials to be accessible and comprehensible, and proper feedback to students shall be provided in a timely manner. Course Instructors Instructor Office Location Phone Email The contact info will be provided to students at the beginning of each semester.
