Computer classroom rules
- No food or drink in the classrooms at any time.
- Students should report any computer problems to their teachers
immediately; teachers should report them (with computer number) to the department
technology staff.
- Only send a “Print” command once. The print command from a lab
computer goes into a print queue—it will take some time before the
printer responds. If the printer doesn’t respond after a few
minutes, tell your teacher. Do not repeat the print
command. If it didn't work the first time, it won't work the second time.
- If pages from the printer are faint or streaked, tell your teacher,
who will report the problem.
- Only print what you really need to. Do not
waste paper. In fact, you should should print papers to be turned in
before you get to class.
- Do not disconnect the keyboard or the mouse.
- Do not change the default settings for the Windows display.
- Do not use the computers for games at any time.
- Do not use the computers for personal e-mail during class time unless
your teacher has given you permission to do so.
- Save your work to a flashdrive or the P drive. Files saved on the hard drive may be erased.
- Finally, please use the computers in the spirit of cooperation:
keep them in suitable condition for the next person to use them.
