Consulting Hours
ComputerGraduate Assistants provide individual assistance in SEC 405 during regularly scheduled consulting hours. Consulting hours do not replace lab attendance. Rather, they are intended to help you resolve problems and answer specific questions regarding the use of software or activities in lab. Graduate Assistants will not re-teach labs for those who chose not to attend lab the previous week. Failure to attend lab results in a forfeit of consulting hour privileges the following week. Exceptions are made only in the case of an excused absence.

ComputerAbout eLearning
eLearning, formerly known as WebCT, is a vitally important communication tool in this course. eLearning is used by students to:

  • Access the course calendar, assignment descriptions, the syllabus, lecture and lab handouts, software downloads, and other online resources.
  • Receive course announcements and other important timely information.
  • Access and submit quizzes
  • Submit most assignments
  • Send and receive mail to and from Instructors, Graduate Assistants, or other students in the course.
  • Access up-to-date grade information as it is recorded.

Login to eLearning at http://elearning.uni.edu with your UNI email username and CatID password. For technical support call 273-5555 or visit the Computer Consulting Center in ITTC 36.

IRTS Computer Labs & Hours of Operation

Of course, you are expected to respect and follow all policies and procedures, including the hours of operation and the prohibition of food or drink in computer labs.

About USB Flash Drives
USB Flash DriveUSB Flash Drives are very popular and convenient. They are sold in a variety of capacities and are compatible with almost any computer. They do not require a separate disk drive. You simply plug them into an open USB port on the computer. Several form factors and styles are available, including some that fit on a key chain or can be worn around the neck.

One USB Flash Drive should accommodate all of your class file this semester. It will also serve as a great way to save projects and assignments for your portfolio and other classes! You should have your own USB Flash Drive with a capacity of 2GB or more. Many area businesses sell these devices (University Book & Supply, Walmart, Target, Staples, Best Buy, etc.) as do online vendors (amazon.com, buy.com, newegg.com, etc.)

Reminder: You are expected to regularly backup your work and always maintain at least two copies of your computer files in two separate locations (e.g., USB Flash drive, eLearning My Files, external hard drive, network folder, personal computer, etc.) in order to avoid data loss which may result from hardware failure or user error.
