Lab Use Policy Quiz

Topics Discussed:
  • Proper use of school and network resources
  • Software Copying
  • Copyright
  • Software Privacy and Vandalism
  • Care of Equipment
  • Food and Drink Policy
  • Internet Usage Guidelines
  • Consequences of Policy Violation

Assignment:

  1. Today we’re going to take a quiz that will check to see if you were paying attention to the Lab Use Policy Presentation we reviewed yesterday.
  2. The good news: If you pass the quiz, I’ll give you access to your Computer Studies student account. This student account only works in the Center for Computer Studies labs, and you’re going to need it to proceed any further in this class.
  3. The bad news: If you don’t pass the quiz, you have to retake it until you do. Don’t worry, it’s not rocket science – I’m sure you’ll get it right on the first try. Don’t forget, you can always review the Lab Use Policy Presentation if you’re stuck.
  4. As soon as you pass the quiz, I’ll walk you through the process of logging in to the computer for the first time, and I’ll walk you through changing your password so your account is secure.
  5. Don’t forget your Plans for Success are due today! Make sure you get those turned in to me before you leave class.
  6. On Monday, we’ll begin our introduction to the Macintosh operating system, so make sure you finish the quiz and get logged in today so you’re ready for next week’s lessons.
