Hello!

I am writing to give you a not-so-gentle reminder that, after a few weeks, SE02 will be released on Tuesday, 14 March 2023 on UVLe. Deadline for accomplishing the exercises is on Friday, 24 March 2023.

Finally, I would like to set-up a regular session with all of you on Tuesday, 14 March 2023 at EEEI 204 at our designated time (2:30 PM). We will also concurrently have a Zoom session for those who will not be able to attend physically. The link to that is here:

Hello!

You are receiving this email regarding CoE 164 because you are enrolled in my section. This will also be the main e-mail thread regarding updates in our course.

As promised before, we have finally set-up the Piazza platform for the course. If you are currently receiving this email, you should have been registered to the platform. Otherwise, please register by yourself through this link. Please check the platform as soon as possible as some students have already posted some questions there.

Finally, I am writing to inform you that due to a memo related to the ongoing PUV drivers' strike against the modernization program, there will be no onsite classes in EEEI this week. Since we still would like to learn, I would like to set-up a regular session with all of you on Tuesday, 07 March 2023 through Zep at our designated time (2:30 PM). We will meet at EEEI 204 (Samsung Lab) for our lecture class.

Please note that this space is currently being set-up, so there may still be some problems. Additionally, Zep recommends any Chromium browser to use the website but it also works for Firefox.

If you have any inquiries, please send a message to me through this email.

Hello!

You are receiving this email regarding CoE 164 because you are enrolled in my section. This will also be the main e-mail thread regarding updates in our course.

First of all, I would like to personally apologize for late announcements as we are also busy formulating course content as we go through the semester. I have also yet to send out forms for the icebreaker and diagnostic tests, and weekly pre-attendance. Nonetheless, hopefully we can announce course updates more often starting today.

As we have discussed in our onboarding meeting last week, we will be using UVLe primarily as our avenue for course delivery. For those who were not enrolled in UVLe yet, here are the course details so that you can enroll yourself in it. Note that there are no assessments released yet, and we will announce if they are already uploaded soon.

For redundancy (e.g. UVLe is undergoing maintenance), you can access the materials at the UP Microlab classes wiki. Just find the wiki page dedicated to our class entitled CoE 164 S2 AY 2022-2023:

Finally, I would like to set-up a regular session with all of you on Tuesday, 28 February 2023 at EEEI LC1 at our designated time (2:30 PM). We will also concurrently have a Zoom session for those who will not be able to attend physically. The link to that is here:

Hello!

You are receiving this email regarding CoE 164 because you are enrolled in my section. This will also be the main e-mail thread regarding updates in our course. Please ignore the previous email thread entitled "[CoE 164] <redacted> Class Updates" because I have just changed the subject of the email thread to add the semester when the course is offered.

To start the semester, I would like to set-up an onboarding meeting with all of you on Tuesday, 21 February 2023 at EEEI Rm 307* at our designated time (2:30 PM). We will also concurrently have a Zoom session for those who will not be able to attend physically. The link to that is here:

It's for us to see each other and be up to date with the course information and requirements, and how the course will go through the semester in general.

Thank you and hope to see you soon!

* For those unaware, Rm 307 is located at the 3rd floor old building. From the stairs, it is on the left side adjacent to the STC laboratory (Rm 208). This room is also tentative only as we are waiting to secure a computer lab for us.
