Ramalingam, P. Rama -TOM 301

[Admin]

Instructor: Dr. P. Rama Ramalingam
Course: TOM 301

I recommend taking Dr. P. Rama Ramalingam for TOM 301. Students form a group of 4 to 6 members and work on group term papers together. There were two group term papers total. Homework assignments are provided on the syllabus and has a deadline for each (2 total). Dr. Rama recommends working on the homework assignment with your group to help each other out. There are few computer assignments in addition to the homework assignment and you work off the cd that comes along with the textbook. Dr. Rama has a teachers assistant (grader) that grades your paper.
Dr. Rama takes attendance randomly and is part of the 10% "Attendance and Class Participation" grade.
Overall, if you do all your reading and ask questions at the end of class lecture, you will do fine. Funny instructor.
