Along with new equipment, the labs will have expanded hours. The McClimans lab is open continually from 2 p.m. on Sunday until 6 p.m. on Friday. Saturdays hours are 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Of Tinsley Hall's two labs, the main lab, available to all students, will open during the week and on weekends for a total of 80 hours. The Tinsley labs are set up like a restaurant, where a student worker seats students and takes care of their needs as a hostess or waiter or waitress would do, explained Fred Guillot, director of Academic Computing Services. We take information like we are taking your order, Guillot said.
Students can drop in for free tutoring in any subject.
They can also reserve cubicals and make an appoint with a lab assistant for group projects. Guillot also said that as of Jan. 9, residence halls received new equipment. Each hall added at least three computers, and Lee Hall, the university's largest residence hall, will eventually have 14 computers. All the computers are up and running, and students are able to connect to the campus system to use the Internet and e-mail. Add One equipment before the end of February.
