Evaluation method:
A 6th absence may constitute a failing grade in this course.
Temporary small tests (6 times for now) 100%. You must score at least 60 points or higher out of 100 to pass.
Criteria:
If you are able to explain one of several important points in each subject equivalent to course and supplement materials, you will get 60 points out of 100 to pass.
Textbooks and reference materials
Course materials will be distributed in class.
Supplemental materials will be announced or distributed in class.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge in semiconductor physics and devices are required.
Without that knowledge, it is difficult to learn. If you are unsure, ask me beforehand.
