Big Note: The topics with * will be given a lower weight and considered based on the available time. They will be excluded from the material of the exams.

|Additional Notes |

|Assignments |The Assignments will be given to help you prepare for the exams. No marks. |

|Exams |Exams will be held on time unless an un scheduled holyday happened to occur. |

|Cheating |Cheating is against laws and rules of the university. The laws will fully apply. |

|Attendance |According to rules of the university, however, no absence, by any mean is, encouraged. |

|Workload |You are advanced to study the material on time. Postponing revising the material day by day enhances forgetting|

| |it. Use the skills of effective time management. |

|Graded Exams |Each problem will be given a considerable weight based on its importance and time needed to solve it. Marks |

| |will be assigned to the parts of each problem. |

|Participation |Participation is a good sign of understanding or a good way to understand. Your participation is encouraged and|

| |respected. No hesitation. |

|Laboratory |It is advised that you register for the lab Phys. 233. in associate with this course. |

|Projects |You may think of starting an initiative on performing a project during studying this course or you may start |

| |thinking of the graduation project from now. I shall be helpful to you even after finishing this course. You |

| |may look for relative projects from the internet and discuss with the instructor. |

The instructor wishes all the students good residence and one time registration.
