Initially labs and assignments will be submitted as hard copy (pay attention to exactly what needs to be turned in).
To log into the CS department machines you need to use a remote client program. For Windows users they are available from ITS at http://support.uidaho.edu/software/ , scroll down to the ITS Tools and follow the directions/links to install putty. If you are using a Mac a remote client program, SSH, is already installed so you don't need to install anything.
Windows users: once you have putty installed log in using the address wormulon.cs.uidaho.edu (not unix.uidaho.edu - that's the University's Unix machine, which you can access with permission, but won't be used for this course). Use your Vandal Username and password to log in.
Apple users: open a terminal window and type username@wormulon.cs.uidaho.edu where username is your Vandal user name.
Here is a short manual covering the basic Unix commands, Nano (a simple text editor), and a few other useful topics.

Note that this schedule is a guide and may vary as the semester proceeds.
