Revision (Review) Work

The contents may be changed or added if I find something interesting in the new materials. I am continuously checking new ideas and topics. Moreover, I may reschedule the course contents, depending on the number of students because I want to provide them with sufficient opportunities and time to give presentations and discuss them (including group works).
In addition, I may change the order of the course works, depending on the number of international students. This is because of problems of COVID-19.
