Lab space: Computers in the SNIF Lab, ETRL 301 are available for your
use in programming assignments and projects. Your EECS computer account name is
required in order to set up the lab computers for your access. If you don't
have an EECS unix account you will need to get one and pass it along to the
class TA so she can set it up in the lab. (Information
about EECS accounts). You will also need to visit the EECS Help Desk in
Sloan 358 to get the door access code for the lab.
The Bridge: We are going to trying using The Bridge, a product of
WSU's Center for Teaching and Learning Technology (CTLT), to organize group work
in this class. From a Mac or Windows PC visit http://bridge.wsu.edu.
Using Unix you'll need to go to http://bridge.wsu.edu/LS/netid.asp.
You will need a WSU Net ID to use this system. You can try either the mozilla
browser or netscape. If you use netscape on the lab machine make sure you are
getting /usr/bin/netscape and not /net/local/bin/netscape. The former will be
much faster.
