This is an EDUCATION 3.0 course. (For more details, see CELT.)
• The lectures will be given by videos posted in
klms.kaist.ac.kr each week. One is automatically subscribed to this
course in klms.kaist.ac.kr.
• Lecture notes will be also posted in klms.kaist.ac.kr.
• You will listen to about 2 lectures each week and read corresponding parts of the books.
The class: We will divide the class into teams by the last digit of the
student ID number. After the 3rd week, we will regroup if necessary
• The quiz is given in the beginning for 15 minutes from the second week. It will cover the lecture material for the previous week and the present week's material. Hence, it has two parts.
• Then we will have a Q&A time for the video lecture materials.
• After quiz, we will be doing discussions in teams of
5-6 students helped by TAs. (Teams to be organized by us and posted on
klms.) One person from the team will solve the problems on the
whiteboards and present the solutions. The answers will be graded by
TAs. The grades will be for the teams. The discussion topics or problems will be chosen by the instructor. The discussions will be either on the text exercise problem or to doing the proofs for some results in the book., which I may or may not have discussed in the videos. You have to turn in your report of the discussion at KLMS.
(We will divide into Monday or Wednesday class if there are too many students.
If there are only one class in the week, everyone must come to that class.)
