Scheduling by calling

You can put an appointment reminder in your smartphone regarding my office hour to ensure that you will not forget to call.

In case there is no schedule for a lab/presentation, you can still present with a first come first serve basis.

Emails do not allow real time communication and hence cannot be used for scheduling.
