Announcements:
15. FINAL EXAM IS SCHEDULED TO BE ON 15, JANUARY, 2010, FRIDAY, AT 16:00. LETS MEET IN THE DEPARTMENT, AND WE WILL HAVE THE EXAM IN THE BEST SPACE AVAILABLE. You probably will not need it, but please bring in a calculator and statistical tables.
14. I won't be able to attend our class tomorrow. If you would like you can work on your own, and don't come to class. Otherwise, you can borrow the key of computer lab from Ozgur before 8:55, since he has a class at 9.
13. Here are some important information that was also emailed to you:
. Final exam is scheduled for 22nd of January at 16:30, which is too late. If everyone accepts, I will try to move it to an earlier date. This way we can start our break earlier, and I won't have to prepare a makeup (one student can't make it on 22nd). We discussed this in class this morning, and 15 January Friday (except btw 13:30-15:30) seems to work for everyone. Those of you who were not in the class this morning, please let me know BEFORE 6, January, 2010 whether this date works for you or not. If you were in class this morning, you don't have to the anyting. Otherwise, send me an email if it works for you AND if it does not work for you.
. Case study 3 part 3 is now a homework. Please return them back by 7, January, 2010, Thursday, 10:30. I know it is a short period of time, and a lot of work. Do your best, and don't forget to work on your finals. This is another exercise of balancing things in life, and multifunctioning. Please have your homework less than 10 pages (front and back) including graphics and tables. This means you should be selective about what you include.
. There is an important meeting at TUIK next Thursday at 10 am. I may need to attend it. If I must, I will cancel the class and announce this on my web page and by sending you an email.
12. Midterm is on 3, December, 2009, Thursday, 17:40, in P-3. Bring in a calculator and statistical tables (just in case you need them). No lecture on the date of exam.

1. First Meeting:
