122 Lab week 2


Labs Start On the Hour

Please arrive at 026 Kla early enough to be seated and do the following:

If you arrive late, your lab instructor will not be able to take time away from the other students to fill you in on what you missed.

Getting Ready

Your UO DuckID is a username and password, and you need to know your DuckID before you go to your lab. Your DuckID is different from the "UO Id" and "PAC" that DuckWeb asks you on its login page. (Confusing? You bet, and that's what Identity 2.0 is all about and why we'll study it in 110.)

Skill Assessment Notation:
In 110, we'll assess skill-acquisition using three levels: E (Exposure), F (Familiarity), M (Mastery).

Micro Labs on Campus: In addition to 026 Kla, Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition is installed in 013 Kla and 101 Mck, but it is not installed in other micro labs on campus.

Saving your Lab Work: The My Documents folder on the PCs in 026 Kla is cleared periodically. If you want to save a copy of your lab work, use SSH's File Transfer window to upload your files and/or folders to your shell.uoregon.edu account. Or bring a USB drive with you to your lab and keep your /110 folder stored on that drive.

122 IT Applications/DuckWare CD: Apart from Visual C++, alll the software applications we use in the lab (SSH, FireFox, Fugu, ...) is on the DuckWare CD, and can be installed on your personal computer. The DuckWare CD is available from MicroHelp, 151 McKenzie. See also: OS X applications and Parallels Desktop.

Lab Exercises

  1. Getting the Lab you Want. See the 122 FAQ for details.

  2. 122 Information Architecture: Local Host and Remote Host.

    Use SSH to connect to shell.uoregon.edu. Open a SSH File Transfer Window. If you don't have a /122 folder on the computer at which you are working, download your /122 folder from shell.uoregon.edu.

    Make sure that you have the correct 110 Information Architecture on the local host and the remote host. Ask your Lab Instructor for assistance if necessary.

  3. Lab Time for Working on Project 1.

    Your lab this week is a "group office hour." Your GTF will be there to assist you as you work on project 1.


The 122 Learning Environment

At the start of the term, your lab instructor will regularly stop and ask the question, "Can all of you hear me, especially in the back of the room? Can you understand what I am saying?"

It's important that you are able to follow along as the instructor presents material. If you cannot hear or understand what is being said, please raise your hand and say (polite always works) that you are having difficulty following the presentation. The lab instructor will appreciate your assistance.

Also, please keep in mind that your responsibility is to pay attention and follow the instructor's directions. In particular, you should not be reading email, surfing the web, visiting with other students, etc., during the lab. Save those activities for after the lab.
