Spring 2006

(06/29/06, Friday) There are still a few groups not yet completing all the lab exercises. Please make appointment with Polly as soon as you can to present all lab results. The last time to complete all the labs will be Wednesday (7/5) 5:30pm.
(06/29/06, Friday) We will need a bit more time to sort out the final presentation and report grades. Please stay tuned and check back again on Monday (7/3).
(05/26/06, Friday) The final project presentation will be peer reviewed. You need to be present to evaluate other students' work.
(05/26/06, Friday) The final project presentation will start 6/23 9:10-12:10 and then continue from 14:20 to 17:20. The presentation order will be the reverse of the project idea presentations. And that will be: Team #9(9:10-9:30), #6(9:35-10:55), #4(10:10-10:30), #8(10:35-10:55), #5(11:10-11:30), #2 (11:35-11:55), #7(12:10-12:30), #13(2:20-2:40), #10(2:45-3:05), #11(3:20-3:40), #3(3:45-4:05), #1(4:20-4:40), and #12(4:45-5:05).
(05/19/06, Friday) Polly has an important meeting to attend today noon (shortly afternoon the class ends). Those who wish to show their ns-2 lab#2 results can do so next week in the lab hours.
(05/19/06, Friday) It is a sure thing that the 150 minutes 6/23 Friday morning will not be enough the final presentation. We will set another half day (say Friday afternoon) to allow all presentations.
(05/19/06, Friday) There are approximately 6 weeks to go until the final project presentation. Please note the progress of your project.
(05/19/06, Friday) Based on the project proposals we received, several teams did not have project title at all. Team #1, #2, #5, #9, #12, #13, please your project title to the TA asap to allow as to grade your project proposals.
(04/14/06, Friday) The general comments for the project proposals are that you need these necessary componenets to make a good proposal: (1) real motivation (there's a need to solve this problem), (2) well-defined problem (be specific), (3) unique solution/idea (read more and discuss more so you can be innovative), and (4) concrete experimental plan (be detailed). For most of the teams, only (1) and (2) are clear. It is really important that you spend time and get (3) and (4) clear in a week. This way you will know what to do next in the later half of the semester.
(04/14/06, Friday) The grading for the paper reviews are more than half-way through. There will be just a slight delay of a week to return the graded reviews.
(04/14/06, Friday) Please note also the labs for the rest of the semester will held in EEII-132. The lectures about the tools, however, remain in BL-103.
(04/14/06, Friday) Please be reminded of the due date to turn in the project proposal is April 28, Friday, 00:00. You have less than one week time to publish your proposal.
(04/14/06, Friday) If you submit your homework late (especially several days after the dead-line), please inform the TA. Or your homework may be missed.
(03/31/06, Friday) Please note newly set office hour, Saturday 10-12am, has been added to the Admin page.
(03/31/06, Friday) Polly sees that there are several students auditing the class seriously. That is perfectly fine. The suggestion is that these students identify a team to tag along for the rest of the class, including doing the labs and projects, so it will be easier to manage and in the meantime the students can participate not just in the lectures but also the rest of the class activities.
(03/31/06, Friday) Your paper reviews are being graded. They will be returned with feedback as soon as they are available.
(03/31/06, Friday) You will be given a bit of time towards the end of the lecture this week to have group discussions to brainstorm about the project ideas.
(03/31/06, Friday) Team #7, #2, #5, #8, #4, #6, and #9 will be up for project idea presentations two weeks after.
(03/31/06, Friday) In the lecture this week, we will set the office hours.
(03/31/06, Friday) In your project idea presentation, please bring to our attention (1) the motivating problem, (2) the related work, (3) your idea of pursuing the problem further, and (4) your plan to do the experiment to prove that your idea is good.
(03/31/06, Friday) A gental reminder that Team #12, #1, #3, #11, #10 and #13 will be up for project idea presentations next week. Please note the limited amount of time we have. Prepare for no more than 20 mins of talk and leave the rest of the time for open discussions.
