| Grading: |
Grading for this course will be based on homework assignments (33%),
student presentations (33%) and project
(33%).
|
| Project: |
You will be required to write a General User Proposal to the Advanced
Photon Source. This tutorial
describes the process of submitting a proposal. The topic of your
proposal should be different than the topic of your presentation and
must be approved beforehand by the instructor.
|
| Presentation: |
The final examination will consist of a 20 minute presentation (15
minutes of talk plus 5 minutes for questions). Your presentation will
be based on a journal article and must be approved in advance by the
instructor. The topic must be different than that of your General User
Proposal project.

IIT has a Code of Conduct which is available at
https://www.iit.edu/student-affairs/student-handbook/fine-print/code-academic-honesty.
All students in this course are expected to follow this code.
The first violation will result in a grade of "zero" for that
assignment (exam or quiz). Subsequent violations will result
in a failing grade in the course.
