200B/C Lab Series Presents:

The Dept of Psychology maintains two undergraduate teaching laboratories, 200B and 200C Schermerhorn. All psychology faculty, graduate students, and staff have swipe access to these rooms. In addition, several undergraduate labTAs have swipe access and help maintain open lab hours for other students.

1. Check Lab Schedule. Check the 200bc schedule. If a class is in session, please don't enter the room unless you have prior permission of the instructor.
   
   
2. Request a Reservation. Use the online lab schedule to reserve the room for review sessions, discussion sessions, etc. Check the lab schedule and reservations calendar for availability. We try to keep one lab open for student use whenever a lab TA has hours scheduled, so if you need to schedule the only available room during Open Lab Hours, be sure to indicate that quiet use of the computer is o.k. during your event.
   
   
3. Training. Before using the equipment in 200b or 200c, please read these Guidelines and other Online Guides relevant to your planned use, and then arrange with Peter Tripp or a lab TA for training on the podium equipment.
   
   
4. Instructions. Printed instructions, including troubleshooting tips, should be available at the podiums of both rooms. Similar instructions can be found in the Online Guides.
   
   
5. Installing Software. Peter Tripp maintains the lab computers. Please do not install software on these computers without first checking with him. For a list of applications see the Mac User guide.
   
   
6. Personal and Class Files. If you use the guest login, any files you save to the desktop will be removed. Bring a flash drive so that you can save a copy of your files, and/or login to the 200bc orange server using your own user name and password and save your files in your own folder. See the Mac User guide for more info.
   
   
7. Printing. Users sometimes direct print jobs to printers in other locations, so before you print, check the print dialog box to be sure it's set at the printer you want. Please do not use the printer to make multiple copies of documents. See these additional printing tips.
   
   
8. Reporting Problems. Please report crashes, printing problems, defective software, and the like to Peter Tripp immediately: 4-8167, peter@paradox.psych.columbia.edu. In addition, tell the lab TA on duty.
   
   
9. Food and Drink. No food or drinks at the computer stations, ever. If you eat or drink elsewhere in the room, or if you dispose of food or drink containers in the room, please clean up after yourself and take out the garbage when you leave.
   
   
10. Whiteboards. If you use the whiteboards, please erase them thoroughly to prevent permanent discoloration.
    
    
11. Shutting Down. Remember to log yourself out, but don't turn off the Macs. Please DO turn off the video projector, Sony receiver/amplifier, and/or the VCR unless they will be used within the next hour.
    
    
12. Lab Doors. For your own personal safety, as well as that of the equipment, please keep the doors to 200B and 200C closed whenever possible. Close the door securely when you leave, to be sure it locks. Unauthorized individuals may not remain in the lab without supervision.

Please help us maintain 200B and C as pleasant and well-functioning departmental resources. If you have problems or suggestions, please send them to Lois Putnam and to Peter Tripp.

Thanks!
