	At the graduate level, the courses are not about grades, but about learning at a professional level. I do not emphasize exams and papers except for 1) the institutional requirement that I have a means for evaluation and 2) because preparing for these tends to force one to think and consolidate information. Much more important, however, is your commitment to reading the material and participating in class. This means challenging the lecturers and students to be clear about concepts, and to place their work in the broadest context possible.		At the graduate level, IMHO the courses are not about grades, but about learning at a professional level. I do not emphasize exams and papers except for 1) the institutional requirement that I have a means for evaluation and 2) because preparing for these tends to force one to think and consolidate information. Much more important, however, is your commitment to reading the material and participating in class. This means challenging the lecturers and students to be clear about concepts, and to place their work in the broadest context possible. Nevertheless, M284A/B are required for several Ph.D. programs, obliging me to be rigorous in my grading.

	Because the emphasis is on skills learning, as much as on content, I will prepare lectures and exercises on tools, including math, engineering and programming, that I hope will be useful to you for years into the future.
