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.

• Classroom policies and procedures

Assignment:

1. Welcome back! Today we’re going to go over the class rules, or as I like to call them, the policies and procedures.
2. Society’s based on policies and procedures. Without ’em, we’re no better than poo-flinging monkeys in the jungle. Humans agree to abide by laws so we can all get along and get things accomplished with a minimum of screaming, head-bashing and poo-flinging.
3. The policies and procedures are pretty straightforward, and they’re all posted in the front of the room where you can see them at all times. They’re all really based on one simple thing: respect.
4. I’m going to show you respect at all times in the classroom, and all I ask is that you return the favor.
5. I also ask that you treat everyone else with respect, so that they can do the same for you.
6. Treat my stuff and the school’s stuff with respect, so that it can stay in good shape for you and for everyone else.
7. I’ve got a lot of cool stuff to teach you in this class. Please don’t make it any harder for me than it already is by disrupting my class, or making it harder for the people around you to pay attention.
8. I promise not to come to your room and mess it up; can you do me the same courtesy? I’d appreciate it.
9. Do any of the class policies seem strange? Like something you shouldn’t have to be asked not to do? Guess what: the reason that policy’s in place is because some knucklehead decided to be a creep and had to be asked to stop. Please: Don’t be that guy.
10. If you can agree to abide by these policies and procedures, then we can all get along. If there’s anything you feel like you can’t agree to here, let me know and we can talk it over.
