Course Title： Channel Coding (通道編碼)
Instructor：Yunghsiang S. Han (韓永祥)
Course goal：To teach students the
fundamental knowledge about coding theory.
Final grade：midterm exam 30%，final exam 30%，final project 30％，attendance rate 10％
A set of lecture notes will be
provided on my personal website. The following are the textbook and recommended
reference:
Textbook: Error Control Coding,
Second Edition, S. Lin and D. J. Costello, Jr., Prentice-Hall, Inc., 2004. (歐亞書局代理)
Reference: Error Correction

Students’final grades for this course are based on their performances in midterm examination, final examination, final project reports on problems in the coding theory research area, and up to 60-minute oral presentations on their reports. Students will be asked to attend every lecture in order to learn the topics of coding theory.
