Homework assignments are directed towards a better understanding of the material covered in class and/or presumed known. Thus, homework assignments may cover material not discussed/reviewed in class. Homework assignments are due at the beginning of class on the date indicated and late homework will not be accepted. The students are expected to use the library while working on their assignments. Group work is encouraged but each student is required to turn in his/her own assignment. Mot a mot copying and/or plagiarizing are not acceptable. All word processed work will be subject to Turnitin check.

Each student is required to work on a short project during the second half of the semester and make a 15-20 minute presentation in class in the last week(s) of class. The project may involve either (1) an in depth review of one or more scientific papers on a specific subject NOT covered in class or (2) a specific clinical application of light/lasers along with principles, instrumentation, and devices on the market (technical data, specifications, approximate retail prices, competing companies and/or products). The instructor is open to other suggestions and students are encouraged to come up with original project ideas by the end of October. A one-page project proposal will be submitted to the instructor by mid November 2019 after the break.
