General Lab Information

Note: For lab times goto [TAs & Tutors] page.

This section contains general information about things you will need to know how to do in order to do well in this class (and future classes as well). It includes information on using Unix, creating a program, and submitting homework assignments.

If you need additional background information, you should definitely check out the resources CATS (Communications and Technology Services) provides. They are located downstairs in the Communications building. There is also an online tutorial, Nettrail, for learning about using The Web, email, newsgroups, and Melvyl (the electronic library information system).
