Login and password

Basically, you need two different accounts for CS46B lab. Unix account and CS account.

A Unix account is to use unix systems in DH450, and you can get it from me.
A CS account is required to remotely access unix systems from home:
1. Get an CS account from WSQ1 (Washington Square Hall Room 1). If you registered for CS46B, the account is free. Otherwise, you need pay for $45 to get one.
2. Use SSH to remotely access unix systems; Connect to cs0N.cs.sjsu.edu where N=1 through 9 using your CS account not your unix account.

Lab Assignments

Materials: The laboratories for this course consist of information modules. You can find them on our course web page or by clicking on here. You should read the modules and answer the questions as you go. Although there is no formal instructions, the instructor will be in the lab to assist you. Feel free to ask your lab questions your instructor. Note that lab questions will be answered during the lab hours only. The instructors' office hours are reserved to help students for other issues.

Quizzes: Do NOT submit any quiz on-line !!

Seven lab assignments are chosen out of 12 modules. Approximately 2 weeks are given to study each lab. After studying a lab, you need to take the quiz on the given scheduled date during the lab hour in the DH450. It will be a traditional type of quiz using pencil and paper. No make up quiz will be considered. The quiz questions will be similar to those available on-line at the end of each lab module, but not necessarily the same. Students who enrolled Sections 1 and 2 will take the quiz on Tuesday and Thursday in the same week, respectively.

For example, during the next lab hour, study the first lab manual. One week after that, you will take the corresponding quiz in this lab DH450. If you need to more time to study a particular lab, you can do it at home by remotely accessing unix systems.

Each lab quiz is worth 10 points. 70 is the maximum point you can obtain. The lab grade will be counted as 9 % of your total grade in CS46B. See the CS46B greensheet for more details about final grade.

Policy on Academic Dishonesty

Any cheating in a quiz will result in a zero grade in that quiz. A second offense will result in an F in the CS46B (not only the lab.)
