NOTICE: If you are not free from about 7:30 am to about 5 pm at least one day of the week, it is recommended that you have a car so that you can drive yourself to the EyeMobile site after your morning class. If you do not have a car and you are not free any mornings, you most likely will only be doing office work. If you still want to do this, consider another quarter when you do have a free day so you get experience from both the EyeMobile and the office.
Either way, do contact Iliana so that you can plan your schedule accordingly.
