Spring 2001: Current Research at Chalmers/GU [FYL630]

To pass this class you must turn in a report explaing what you have learned. The report must summarize your impressions from at least three research visits.

To graduate from our class FYL630, you must to hand in a 3-5 page report covering your impressions. Please discuss the following topics:

• (A) What have you learned?
• (B) How did you percieve/understand the topics, research, and experiments?
• (C) How could we have communicated it all better?

Our program in progress.
