General information for textbook tutorials:
Read and
follow all directions carefully!
·
For assignment 1
and several other assignments, you will be following steps that are given in a
textbook. The instructions in the
Assignment What to do: sections give you the page numbers from the book to do,
along with corrections/additions.
·
Read through the
assigned pages of the text before going to the lab and mark
correction/additions in your book.
·
Gray boxes
surround the operations you will perform in the tutorial so that they will
stand out, but since they are scattered about, it is easy to accidentally miss
some steps, so pay close attention.

To receive full
credit for an assignment, you must turn in all items listed in the “What you need to turn in on the due date”
section.
Getting started in the lab --- Booting up the
computer:
1.
Choose a computer
in RC 120, RC 115, RC 110, or RC 122. You may also use computers on the other
campus in RSH 200, RSH 204, or the RSH library. Classes are taught in all
computer labs, except RC 120. Please make sure a class is not in session in the
lab before entering.
2.
Move the mouse to
see if the computer is already on. If it is not on, turn on the computer system
unit and monitor. When a computer is turned on, it goes through a
power-on-self-test that may take a few minutes.
3.
At the network
logon screen, you will need to enter the User Name Student, Password jeff,
& Log on to CIS. The
password must be entered in lowercase letters.
4.
After the Windows
desktop comes up, wait to see if you need to enter your student ID (Social
Security number). All systems should begin requiring student IDs after the
first couple weeks of class.
When you are
finished - Restarting the computer:
Unless
you are the last student of the day, when you are finished with the computer,
please restart the system for the next student. Restarting the system clears
your student number.
1.
Click on Start in
the bottom left corner to activate the Start Menu.
2.
Click on the Turn
Off Computer option.
3. Select Restart. If the lab is closing, please choose the Turn Off option instead of Restart.
