| Course Description | This is a hands-on course on simulation for undergraduate students. The course includes simulation modeling and programming in general-purpose languages. The use of simulation for estimation, comparison of alternatives and optimization will be addressed. The course covers random number generation and testing, input data analysis, simulation model validation and verification, discrete event simulation, statistical output analysis and experimental design. | |||||||||
| Course Description in Turkish | Lisans öğrencileri için uygulamalı bir simülasyon dersidir. Genel-amaçlı diller kullanarak simülasyon modelleme ve programlamayı içerir. Tahmin, alternatiflerin karşılaştırılması ve optimizasyon için simülasyonun kullanımı anlatılacaktır.

Exams and quizzes: Closed book and closed notes. Homework: N/A Rules for attendance: YÖK regulations. You are responsible for the announcements made in class. Rules for late submission of assignments: N/A Missing a quiz: No make-up will be given for the missed quizzes. For certain excuses (decided by the instructor) the percentage of the missed quiz may be added to the midterm or to the final. Missing a midterm: You are expected to be present without exception and to plan any travel around these dates accordingly. Medical emergencies are of course excluded if accompanied by a doctor’s note. A note indicating that you were seen at the health center on the day of the exam is not a sufficient documentation of medically excused absence from the exam. The note must say that you were medically unable to take the exam. Provided that proper documents of excuse are presented, missed midterm by the student will be given the grade of the final exam. No make-up will be given. If you fail to take the exam on the assigned day and do not have a valid excuse, you will be given zero (0) on the exam. Employment interviews, employer events, weddings, vacations, etc. are not excused absences. Eligibility to take the final exam: YÖK regulations. Missing a final: Faculty regulations.
