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.
