In addition, the student is required to complete exercises which will be handed out during the course. A final exam will complete the course.<\/p>\n<p>The final grade will be composed in the following manner:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 home exercises (50%)<\/li>\n<li>1 final exam (50%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The lectures will be held on Mondays between 12:30-14:20 at room 401 in the Maydan building (department of Materials Science &amp; Engineering).<\/p>\n<p><!--The final exam will take place on Wednesday July 3rd between 13:30-15:30.--><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-arrow-circle-1 su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>Lecturer Details<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\nDr. Yaron Kauffmann<br \/>\nPhone #: 4567<br \/>\nOffice: Electron microscopy center (MIKA) office # EM12<br \/>\nOffice hour : Wednesday 14:00-15:00<br \/>\ne-mail: <a href=\"mailto:mtyaron@technion.ac.il\">mtyaron@technion.ac.il<\/a><br \/>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-arrow-circle-1 su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>Recommended Literature<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n* D.B.
