Course content
For years, multimedia has been touching most aspects of Computer Science and Engineering fields and forms an important component of image processing, computer vision, computer network, real-time systems, retrieval, and so on. Therefore, a comprehensive knowledge in multimedia is rapidly becoming necessity, emphasizing the importance of this course. There are three major parts covered in this class: Multimedia data representation, multimedia data compression and multimedia communications and networking.
Purpose of class
This class aims to provide a comprehensive view on the big picture of multimedia technologies by specifically investigating various key parts ranging from data compression to multimedia communication techniques.

Evaluation method and criteria
Presentation and communicative ability (50%) and discussion skill (50%) are the criteria of the grade. More than 60% of the total score is needed for getting the course credit.

<Note>
Students are marked absent from the class if they are late regardless of the delay time.
If students are absent from more than one third of the total number of classes, the credit of this course cannot be given to them.
Even though students are absent from the class whatever the reason, e.g. sickness, delay of public transportation systems, forgetting to bring the student ID card, it is counted as absence.
