Computer Lab Rules No Food or Drinks in the computer labs Help care for the machines Do not do anything that will mar or compromise the computers...ever! Be patient with computers that crash or freeze - it WILL happen often due to the demanding software we use in the course. It's your responsibility to anticipate and prevent data loss Do not use the computer as a personal music player - either by playing a music CD or by streaming media through the network; it puts unnecessary wear and tear on the hardware and on the school's bandwidth Respect your classmates Use earbuds to audit sound in your projects NEVER do anything that might cause a student to lose their work If you see another student has accidentally left their user account open, close it for them - they'll do the same for you. Do not modify the hardware or software Leave all cables as you find them Do not modify desktop wallpaper or screen display unnecessarily Please shut down the computers at the end of the day Not just your own, but any in your row that were left on accidentally Not just the monitor, but the CPU as well
