    The students are allowed to bring only "ONE" piece of A4 paper in each exam. The final exam material will be after the mid-term; however, all related contents will be also covered.
    The exam includes 1. True/False (+1, -1, and 0), 2. Numerical and Analysis, and 3. Fill in the blank.
    The final grade will be curved based on the overall performance of the whole class (probablistic clear cut-off point).
    Note that students are allowed to bring only "ONE" piece of A4 paper in each exam with additional non-memorized calculator
