* Dr. Lau will give one introductory lecture on Feb 12. You will be studying the required course text on your own afterwards. You are required to study chapters 1-8 of the book on your own and complete ''all'' the exercises.
* You are also required to design your own simulation project using the tlearn package and give a 10 minute presentation on your project near the end of term and submit a report.
* You can either work on your own project or work as a team (max 3 persons per team). If you work as a team, your team has to agree and let me know the relative contribution of each member (e.g. 40%/60% for a 2-membered team).
* If there are fewer than 9 presentations, they will all be held on 7 May. Otherwise some of them will be held on April 30.
* You should email me your reports before 11pm 14 May 2007.
* Assessment: presentation (30% of total marks) + report (20%) +/- participation.
