REMINDER

As I will be away for a week, starting Sept. 23-29, I hold you responsible to complete your blog questions. The remaining two weeks will be alloted for discussions and quizzes and/or other requirements fit for the topics.

Maximize your laboratory time well. Refrain from staying in the laboratory simply to play games, watch YouTube video clips, socialize with Friendster.

Attendance is required by your appointed classmate. Do affix your signature on your attendance sheet.

See you all!
