Remote Session Guidelines

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, starting March 24 and until new notice, all S/W Design and Architecture class sessions will be taught remotely. In order to make the best of it, please have in mind the following indications:

• Classes will take place through the Zoom video conferencing and online meeting service. Make sure you have the Zoom client app installed on your computer. Classes start at the same day and time as usual: Tuesdays at 4:00 p.m. with a 5 minute tolerance.

• If Zoom stops working at any time during the class, further instructions on how to proceed will be provided through the course's Facebook group.

• The rest of the resources for the course (this web site, the Facebook group, GitHub, etc.) will be available and used as usual.

• To join a class follow this link using your web browser:

  https://itesm.zoom.us/my/ariel.ortiz

  Alternatively, you can also join a class through the Zoom web site or client app by providing the Meeting ID or Personal Link Name:

  Personal Link Name:	ariel.ortiz
  Meeting ID:	721-249-2744

• Every class session will be recorded. The corresponding videos will be made readily available on YouTube and their unlisted links will be posted on the course’s Facebook group.

• Your name during the Zoom meeting should consist of your given name (choose the one you prefer if you have several), followed by your first family name, followed by your student ID. So, for example, if your name is “María Expropiación Petronila Lascuráin Torquemada” and your student ID is A01377731, then your display name should be something like:

  Petronila Lascuráin A01377731

  See how to change your name in a Zoom meeting.
