Today marks the end of January and prepares us for the month of love.

Today as well marked the end of the Midterm Examinations here at UIC. Rest day for students and preparing once again for the last period of the semester, the Finals. For the instructors, time to check and evaluate once again the performances of the students under them and as well preparing for Final grading lessons and requirements.

The ITE Program as well met the SAP (Systems, Applications, Products in Data Processing) Advocates and promoted the product to the UIC community particularly the Business and Accountancy Program, ITE, and the Engineering Programs. Overall impression was good but needed to be discussed and contemplated all of its pros and cons. Deploying it to academe is no joke especially the financial/fee aspect. We have to consider also the curriculum alignment.

After 2 hours of absorbing the meats of this new framework, the Guidance Office has prepared a comprehensive presentation about the ITE Freshmen and Sophomores about their overall performance in school. They have presented and discussed as well the influences and factors that affects their studies.The good thing was we identified the causes why students are not performing well in their academic life and its effects to them.

As for myself, I am not feeling well physically and emotionally.  Stress and pressures might be one of the reasons. Unwinding would be one of the solutions.
