 Course Objectives:  

The course objective is to let the student obtain
1) the capability of identifying the engineering problems that can be put into the frame of statistical signal processing,
2) the capability of solving the identified problems using the standard techniques learned through this course, and
3) the fundamental understanding of statistical signal processing that may help them study advanced topics and consequently make significant contributions to the theory and the practice of statistical signal processing.

 Course Requirements:

1. 1st midterm exam (F 10/15, 7:30pm-12 pm, LG 104, Lec. 1-9)  15 %
2. 2nd midterm exam (F 11/26, 7:30pm-12 pm, LG 104, Lec. 1-22)  20 %
3. Final exam (T 12/21, 7:30pm-12pm, LG 104, Lec. 1-31)  25 %
4. Homework (Quiz) 20 %
5. Presentation and Participation 20 %
100 %
In each exam, a student is allowed to bring an A4-size crib sheet written on both sides.  
Course participation is graded subjectively by the instructor based on the class attendance rate, active participation in discussions, office hour visiting, voluntary projects, etc.
Only approximately 1/3 of homework problems will be randomly selected and graded. Final grade will be based on total score.
본 강의는 이미 강의 홈페이지에 올라와 있는 2009년 2학기 개설시 녹화한 강의를 매 시간마다 수강생이 미리 보고 와서
1. 먼저 강의 내용에 대해 미리 지정된 순서에 따라 한 학생이 요약 발표하고 (30분 영어 프리젠테이션)
2. 강의 내용에 대해 토론식으로 질의 응답 등을 하고
3. 강의를 보고 왔는지 확인하는 퀴즈를 보고
4. 연습 문제를 풀어주는
형식으로 진행합니다. 주지하시고 수강 신청하시기 바랍니다.

영어 프리젠테이션은 전체 약 30회의 미팅을 학생수로 나누어 할당하며 5명 수강시 약 6회씩 하게 됩니다.

 Grading Policies for Homework 

  1. Homework will be assigned approximately every week.

  2. I allow collaboration on the homework. However, students must submit his/her own solutions and provide the names of collaborators.  

  3. Re-grade requests must be filed in writing within one week after the graded homework has been returned to students.

  4. Only 1/3 of assigned problems per each assignment will be graded. 

  5. Each sub-problem will be graded according to the following scale: 100%, 60%, 20%, and 0%.

 Grading Policies for Exam 

  1. Students may take exams earlier than the original schedule if he/she requests at least one week earlier. 

  2. Excused class absence on an exam day may lead to a make-up exam for the absentee.

  3. Re-grade requests must be filed in writing within one week after the graded exam has been returned to students.  

  4. Each sub-problem will be graded according to the following scale: 100%, 60%, 20%, and 0%. 

 Policy on Academic Dishonesty

If the instructor suspects academic dishonesty, the instructor will notify the student(s) and follow the procedure to report to the Graduate School without any exception. Students have the responsibility to be knowledgeable about the consequences of dishonesty.
