110 FAQ


  1. What if I missed my week 1 lab? If possible, go to another lab this week; tell the GTF that you're not in the lab, and you can watch from the sidelines.

    Also, the GTFs will hold two extra sessions in the lab during week 2 devoted to the same material covered in the week 1 lab. The times of these lab sessions will be announced in class and Blackboard.

  2. How do I get the lab I want when they are all full on DuckWeb?

    After week 1, we are handling this informally. You do not have to use the DuckCall "exchange section" command (XS, 97) after it starts costing you $$ to do so. Here's what to do:

    Go to the lab you want and ask the GTF if there's room for you. If your GTF says Yes, make sure that s/he has your name removed from your original lab and added to the new one. If the GTF says No, you will have to attend a different lab.

    For labs that are full, two names may be added beyond the max, on the condition that the added students may have to watch over someone's shoulder when everyone registered attends the lab. Note that the originally registered students up to the max are guaranteed a seat. If you are one of the extra students added over the max and you have a notebook computer, bring it to the lab which is a wireless hotspot (and there are also Ethernet connections in the walls of B26 Kla if your notebook is not wireless enabled.)

  3. Should I bring my FIT book to class each day? We'll follow the book closely; if you'd like to make notes in the margin, bring it along.

  4. I understand my UO account includes 1GB of disk storage on uoregon.edu. How can I monitor my disk usage?

    With respect to your disk quota, read the manual page for the du ("disk usage") by entering the Unix command "man du" at the shell prompt.

    Then you can use the du command as follows:

    This command will report one number, in Megabytes, for your total disk usage: du -sh

    This command will report one number, in Megabytes, for each of your directories, sorted from large to small:
    du -h | sort -r | more
