Posted on May 1, 2005
8/30/05 PREFACE
Welcome to EE100. This is a new trial for the Instructor to organize EE100 using Blog website, relatively new here UVM. All the information including Homework, Lab Reports, and Lecture Notes will be posted in this website. The instructor will not provide hard copies in general, but everything will post in this website. At this trail class, the submission is still required using hard paper copies. All students will be responsible for all assignments and materials covered in the class. Any new issues for you should be clarified before any problems happen to you. Blog is an ideal tool for large class, 60 students like EE100, to interactively develop the class contents.
