No Food or Drinks in the computer labs
Help care for the machines
Do not do anything that will mar or compromise the computers...ever!
Be patient with computers that crash or freeze - it WILL happen often due
to the demanding software we use in the course. It's your responsibility to
anticipate and prevent data loss
Do not use the computer as a personal music player - either by playing a
music CD or by streaming media through the network; it puts unnecessary
wear and tear on the hardware and on the school's bandwidth
Respect your classmates

Do not modify the hardware or software

Use earbuds to audit sound in your projects
NEVER do anything that might cause a student to lose their work
If you see another student has accidentally left their user account open, close it
for them - they'll do the same for you.
Leave all cables as you find them
Do not modify desktop wallpaper or screen display unnecessarily
Please shut down the computers at the end of the day


YOU Control Your Education
If you know you are going to miss an upcoming class - it is your responsibility to:





Inform the instructor in advance
Have a classmate take notes for you on the day you miss class
Catch up on the missed work on your own time
You can NOT expect to catch up DURING upcoming classes - you'll always
remain a step behind. The solution is for you to GET CAUGHT UP on your OWN
time, and be ready for new instruction!
EVALUATION POLICY
Projects will be deadline driven. If a student is unable to complete a project by
the prescribed deadline, they must make arrangements with the instructor to
establish a reasonable alternative, and to make extra efforts to catch up to the
rest of the class.
