  • When do I go to the lab ?

    • During the week of 9/8 and on Monday 9/14, those of you that are not familiar with email, netscape, the UNIX system and the text editors available at UMBC are to go to the lab indicated on the schedule shown below instead of your normally scheduled discussion section meeting. Those of you who already know about these things are excused from going to the lab and will have no discussion section meeting on the days 9/8 - 9/14. You must, however, send an email to your TA as described below.

    One of the exercises in this lab will be to send an email to your TA that consists of your name, social security number, your section number, and a little bit about yourself. It should include your previous programming experience and why you're taking this course.

    ALL STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED to send this email from their umbc gl accounts to their TA, even if they are not attending the introductory lab session. You will not be able to submit your projects unless we receive this email from you.
