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

Approved MEE 352 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 (links below, or copy from your Textbook), Unit Conversions and Constants, and Appendix 1 (from 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. * Textbook Errata List.

Homework Week/No. 15: Assigned in week of Tu, 05/01/07 (Due as per rules if not specified otherwise):

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.

Mandatory and comprehensive final exam, as per our Syllabus and per official NIU schedule is on Tu., 05/08/06, from 6 PM to 7:50 PM (check official NIU schedule and report any discrepancy personally to me).

Review Midterm/Exam Policies (Show all your work for full credit).

For Midterm and Final exams staple together in this order from top to bottom: Quiz/Midterm/Final Exam answer form, 4-sheet-blank-paper-set for Midterm or 8 for Final (exact number s must be submitted even if blank), and Multiple Choice answer form (the last page in the stapled set). Bring the latter with your personal Textbook, printed/copied Approved Handouts (with the header in upper-right corner and bounded: stapled or in a single 3-ring folder), pen, pencil and a calculator, etc. Test and exams may be (in part or in whole) closed notes, handouts and textbook, or allowed selected handouts and/or open textbook.

Review Let's get acquainted: First Things First!*[PDF format is convenient for printing].
Send me an email (kostic@niu.edu) and copy to TA with the subject line (exactly but without quotes, you may cut-and-paste): " MEE 555sp07 Student E-mail Contact ," and a 80-120 word free-assay by introducing yourself and expressing your expectations and concerns about the subject after reviewing the syllabus (do not attach the assay as separate file but it must be within the email message - cut-and-paste if you use Word file for example). This email has to be sent by the deadline (BUT after reading very carefully the syllabus and its relevant links-Item (1) above) so that I can get your email address (using your email account you like to get responses to it) to make up email group list for our class, and be able to send you future class information via email (most of info will be also posted on our HW web page - if you ever change your email account you have to report it to me).
NOTE: If the exact format/rules for the email are not followed (no exception) a credit of 1 point will be issued instead if 5 points. You may also get an Auto-Reply: Sorry that your email could not be processed since class keyword is missing in the Subject line and/or no sender's name at the massage end, as per our class rules."/

(HW#1b due Th, 01/23/07): Study/review EHT Chapters 1 and 2 and redo for grading all Examples and Experiments from the Free Electronic HEAT TRANSFER TEXTBOOK (EHT) . (see Note about Reading and Example Homework). Remember also verbal assignments given in class!

TA Assignment at the beginning of every semester: Please print, read, and understand the following links:
TA Work Description and Important TA Role in Education Process, as well as relevant Course Syllabus, HW Assignments, Office Hours and Info, etc., and show all those to me during our next meeting.
