Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The course will be taught in the form of lecture and question solving. While the topics are explained, current examples will be presented and students will be enabled to participate effectively in the topics.In some weeks of the course, the assignments given to the students will be solved by the students on the board and these presentations will be scored.
