This lab contains a large number of IBM compatible PCs and Macs, as well as a small cluster of Unix based systems used in certain CS courses. CCSU has a large DEC VAX computer running the VMS operating system. The VAX is used for certain administrative applications, E-mail, and certain kinds of Internet access. The computer center requires that students be certified before they can use University computing facilities. Certification is accomplished separately for Microlab and VAX access.
Certification requires that a student take and pass a brief multiple choice quiz.
Ask at the information desk in the Microlab for current information. The computer facilities required by this course are discussed on the course outline sheet. University policies on the use of computer equipment can be found in the Student Handbook. Each assignment is assigned a weight and grades are computed as a weighted average of all work done during the semester. Weights are not percentages and do not add up to any predetermined number.
