---------------------- Welcome Message ---------
Dear researchers,
Please note that my view of a graduate course is that It
should be interactive, and due to the nature of the topic
matter - Multimedia Communications - I will cover a wide range
of topics and you will also cover another wide range. At a
graduate level it is not only the teacher who presents
information to the information hungry students “YOU” but also
research capable students like you should contribute to the
knowledge enhancement of their professor and peers. This will
be achieved by presenting the topics you have chosen.
As a matter of fact, there will be a number of quizes
throughout this course, the material covered is everything we
do in class, and the questions will be based on the
understanding of the subject matter rather than learning by
heart. Sure, I will be asking questions from some of the
project presentations you will be doing.
--------------------------------------------------
---------------------- Evaluation Process
---------
- Paper Essays & 5 minutes idea presentation (15%)
- Each student Must send me max 5 slides covering the
