  • When do I go to the lab ?

    • During the week of 2/2 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.

    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, if any, 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.

    Sections 101, 102, 103 and 104 will each go to ECS 336 at their normal discussion section time for the week of 2/2 ONLY. There is always a problem with lab availability in the evenings. All of the evening sections will be going to the lab (ECS 336) on Tuesday night, 2/3/98, but at different times. Section 201 will have the lab from 7-7:50 PM. Section 202 from 9-9:50 PM, and Section 203 from 8-8:50 PM.
