Disks:
You will need to have two zip disks, properly labeled, and bring them to every class. You may use 3.5" diskettes if you prefer. Label every disk with your name, the course number, and the name of the instructor.
Other Materials:
1. An individually-funded (IF) account from the Computation Center is required to use the computers in the CWRL classroom, both during class and during lab open hours. You can sign up from the Web site at http://www.utexas.edu/cc/account/. You can also sign up for an IF account at the SMF lab on the second floor of FAC (the Undergraduate Library). Make sure that your account will permit you to post web pages.
2. A copy of UTSLIP (if you plan to connect to e-mail via a modem from home) and Telesys validation (note: Telesys provides dial-up, i.e. modem, access; there is a small charge)Telesys allows you access not only to email but also to Internet services.
4. A notebook for keeping notes about ongoing activities, technical information, notes for writing assignments, and sources of information for research. Bring this notebook to every class.
