Labs

Overview

Each week you will be responsible for a lab assignment. Each lab assignment consists of a training assignment, a pre-test, and a post-test. All of the lab assignments are performed in the MyITLab simulator software provided by the publisher of the textbook.

Lab sessions

Each of you is assigned two lab times each week. These labs are held in classroom CS110 in the Computer Science building. During these lab sessions Teaching Assistants will be available to assist students with lab assignments, class projects, taking quizzes, etc.

First week

Students will register their MyITLab software during the first week of labs. BE SURE to have your codes (part of the textbook package) in time to do the first lab. Be SURE to following the instructions for the intial setup lab, as those instructions guarantee you are in the right class and your grades can transfer from MyITLab to RamCT without issue.

Trainings

Each lab assignment has a training assignment that teaches the student the fundamentals necessary for that assignment. These trainings may be taken as many times as you want (only the highest score will be kept). These trainings may be done in the CS110 lab during your recitation and/or may also be done at home.

Pre-test

Once you have taken the trainings enough times to be comfortable, during your Monday or Tuesday lab you are required to take a pre-test over the material to test your understanding. If you receive an 85% or better on the pre-test, you do not have to take the post-test. If you receive an 85% or better, you MAY choose to try to improve your test score - if you do we will take the better of your two test scores.

Post-test

If you did NOT receive an 85% on your pre-test - or choose to try to improve your test score - you must take the post-test during your Wednesday/Thursday lab session.
