  1. Network Simulation and Testing Polly Huang EE NTU http://cc.ee.ntu.edu.tw/~phuang phuang@cc.ee.ntu.edu.tw

  2. Vital Information • Course : 網路模擬與測試 • Taught by : 黃寶儀 • Class No. : 921 U7400 • Credit : 3 units

  3. For Some of You • The first non-English course taught in English • All communication in English, including • Lectures • Homework • Exams • In/off-class interaction

  4. Be Aware • Homework and exams are accepted only in English • Credits are granted only when the English is comprehensible

  5. Though to avoid confusion… • Please make sure your names are clearly written in Chinese.

  6. Think of it this way: I get to be an exchange student without going physically abroad.

  7. Some Suggestions • Read the corresponding material/slides before a lecture • Review the recording of a lecture speech • Lectures will be recorded and put available in mp3 format

  8. How many still wants to sign up for the course?
