NOTE about HW rules/policy: Every electronic correspondence (email etc.) must have subject line with the course number and semester-year-and-your-initial abbreviation (without spacing) and a relevant heading in it (key words are fine, e.g., 390sp04mk lab safety, for MEE390 Spring 2004 and Milivoje Kostic (initials), related to lab safety, for example). Your email must finish with your full name "signature," since many of you use an alias for your email address. Otherwise your email may be discarded. A free electronic HEAT TRANSFER TEXTBOOK

 MEE 352 Approved Handouts:
Please PRINT and bring the Approved Handouts (with your name and bounded in a single volume: all stapled together or in a single 3-ring folder): Chapter Summaries (or copy from your Textbook),  Unit Conversions and Constants, and Appendix 1 (or copy from your Textbook): SI Property Tables and Charts, if we need those for our Midterm Exam. TA will print the Approved Handouts and make it available for those students who want to copy them instead of printing. NOTE: If any font in a PDF file does not print properly, choose “Print as Image” option in the File>Print menu. If the font prints properly it is better to print without this option. You may want to choose other options suitable for your printer (like "Shrink oversized pages to paper size," etc.). It is your responsibility to check the printing and add/correct any misprint if needed. * Online Textbook Errata.* Online Textbook 3dr Ed. Errata

Homework No. 15: Assigned in week of  Tu, 12/04/07 (Due as per rules if not specified otherwise):

This is a review week before our final exam. Mandatory and comprehensive final exam, as per our Syllabus and per official NIU schedule  is on Tue. December 11, 12:00-1:50 p.m. (check Official NIU Exam Schedule and report any discrepancy personally to me).

Review Midterm/Exam Policies (Show all your work for full credit). Staple together in this order from top to bottom: Quiz/Midterm/Final Exam answer form, 8-sheet-blank-paper-set (exactly and must be submitted even if blank) and Multiple Choice answer form, and bring it with your personal Textbook, printed/copied Approved Handouts (bounded with your name: stapled or in a single 3-ring folder), pen, pencil and a calculator, etc. Write on the front face of the Worksheets only and end each page to be graded with "See Next" and "The End" for last page used.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have more than two Final Exams on the same date you have a right to reschedule an exam. Please email to me the exact schedule of your exams (courses and dates/times) and then come in person to my Office to reschedule an Exam before our last class meeting.

As I advised all of you verbally before, you may check your grading record with TA and any concern has to be resolved before the classes are completed. All students and TA should check that all relevant links needed for Final exam are working before our last class/lecture. Check if your name is properly spelled or missing in our Class Picture and email to me if any correction is to be done. Last lectures are reserved for review of all course materials and answering your questions related to our Final exam.

NOTE: You will have to participate in ABET Course Assessment Surveys and TA Evaluation. Please review the course Syllabus where Objectives with relationship to ABET Outcomes are listed and assessed by your instructor as (strong, average, and minimal). Some of those objectives (strong) are obvious, while others may be less obvious or implicit (average or minimal) as we discussed it in class. I’ll be glad to provide additional explanation if needed. Please review The instruction Letter and the forms before the class, so that we could do it more effectively and have more time to review and prepare for the upcoming final exam. Thank you for participation in this important activity.
