Announcements

The following schedule is subject to change as the course progresses, and you should come back frequently for the most recent update.
  1. Presentation
    想要加簽的同學請不用另外寄信來詢問，直接從學校系統進行選課作業就可以，老師一定會同意。

    2月24號上完第一堂課之後， 一直到學期末同學們就要開始上台報告
    (每次上課前先閱讀完上課筆記與課本內容，基本上每個星期至少會輪到一次)。

    這門課適合肯努力想提升水平的同學，想輕鬆過關或者沒有足夠動機努力的同學建議不要修
    (上台報告很快就可以看出一個人有沒有努力以及水平如何，通常在學期中就可以看出學期末有哪些同學不會過關)。
