COURSE EXAMINATION SCHEDULE
EXAMINATIONS
All the examinations given in this course are closed book and closed notes.
MAKEUP EXAMINATIONS
Makeup exams may be given to those who have valid excuses that are approved
by the department. If you are eligible to take any of the makeup exams you must
see the course instructor within one week after the regular exam date. Do not get
surprised to find cooperatively harder questions in the makeup exams.
HOMEWORK
Homework is extremely important in this course and your serious efforts on them
are expected. They will provide some possible instructive means to understand
the topics and their applications in full depth while keeping you ready for the
exam. Try to work on them by yourself.
PROJECT
A project will be given about the application of onedimensional unsteady flows
to practical engineering problems.
