only partial slide presentations are uploaded. students are expected to read in advance--at least the lectures and course materials listed in respective outlines--and be responsible enough in keeping in track with the class discussions. the course outlines may also be downloaded from ResearchGate.

​lecture materials and slide presentations draw heavily from the main references and other related sources (to facilitate discussion), as indicted on the respective course outlines (no copyright infringement intended; credits are due to respective sources). if there are queries regarding the content, kindly send these through my email. all errors are my own.

postscript: i am regularly updating the course materials found here, particularly to the courses currently assigned to me to administer.
