Lab 1 - Orientation

There are many activities to be done in the Laboratory:

• Check you name on the Roll. If not present, and you want to take this course, explain that in a written note to the instructor, indicating reasons that you should be preferred over others. Give your phone number, student ID, printed name, year, major(s), minor(s), expected graduation date, drop/add form, and explanation.


• Answer the Pre-Test as best as you can and turn in the answer sheet to the instructor, with no questions unanswered.


• Use the QuickTake camera to take a photo of the person sitting next to you, and if 8 photos have been taken, upload them into a new directory on the PowerBook. IMMEDIATELY after uploading, edit the names
  of each of the files to have the last name of the person whose photo was taken. Redo any photos that do not come out well. When you have a diskette, crop the image, store it on the diskette as a TIFF file, and keep it for use on (in this form or as a compressed JPEG image) your WWW home page later.


• Use Netscape or Mosaic to follow along and read crucial information about CS4984, starting at http://ei.cs.vt.edu/courses.html but looking especially at the Syllabus, Outline, and Calendar.


• Become oriented with the various tools on the 3 screens of At Ease "desktop" on the lab machines. During the semester you will use: Acrobat, AuthorWare, Eudora, HyperCard, PowerPoint, Netscape, Sound Machine, Ulaw and other routines.


• Copy down the lab hours so you can return as needed.
