Back to Business

This week is the first week in the new academic year 2006/2007 (Fall 2006 term). My first lecture will be on Wednesday. This term I’ll be teaching 4 courses; two undergraduate courses in the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Al-fatah and two Graduate courses, one in Al-Fatah University and one in the Academy of Graduate Studies.
This term I’ll do more effort in encouraging students to use the internet. I’ve created a webpage for each course (Blog) so student can visit to find out information about the course and also to give their feedback (questions, comments, ..etc.). I’m expecting an interesting discussions and useful internet-home works this term.
The websites of this term’s courses are:
