Announcements

  • 1/20: Welcome to EEE 5! 😀
  • 1/22: Please answer the Student Directory Survey.
  • 1/30: Starting Feb03, students who still do not answer the student directory survey will be considered absent until they answer the survey.
  • 2/5: Deadline for Problem Set 1 is on February 17, 2016 (12:00pm).
  • 2/5: First long exam will be on February 19, 2016 during class hours. Please come early as much as possible.
  • 2/6: (Corrections) The deadline for Problem Set 1 is on February 10, 2016 (12:00nn) while the first long exam will be on February 12, 2016 during class hours. I apologize for the mistake.
  • 3/14: Sorry for the delay. Problem Set 2 is now available. Deadline is on March 29, 2016 (12:00pm).
  • 3/17: There will be no lecture class tomorrow 😀 It may be a good idea to use the supposed lecture time tomorrow for consultation in case you are having difficulty in any of the topics.
  • 4/20: Online class standing is now available!
  • 4/27: Problem Set 3 is now available. Deadline is on May 6, 2016 (5:00pm). Please submit on the dropbox for EEE5 in Rm 220 of EEEI.
  • 5/6: Problem Set 3 Solution is now available. Please email me asap of any correction so that I can inform the others and update the file. Please review the solution for our discussion this coming Wednesday (May 11).
  • Pre-final grades can be found here. Please take note that the comprehensive exam is not required but if taken, will be used to replace your lowest long exam. However, I have decided that if your score on the comprehensive exam is even lower, then your scores on the first three long exams will be the ones recorded. The comprehensive exam is on Tuesday, May 24 (4-7pm). Venue is at EEEI PLDT Multimedia Lecture Hall or commonly called VLC (very large classroom). The exam will still be worth 50 points although it is scheduled for 3 hours.
