  3. ITS Accounts • This is your <name>@usfca.edu account • Your username and password/PIN was mailed to your home address. Or, visit Help Desk in Harney 222 • Format: first initial of first name, first initial of middle name (if available), full lastname @usfca.edu. • USFconnect site: can obtain grades, degree audits, financial records, and other personal records online:http://usfconnect.usfca.edu

  4. CS Accounts • This is the same as your ITS account now. • Problems? Talk to: support@cs.usfca.edu or Cody Nivens / Alex Fedosov

  5. Access • Mail • Can be accessed on stargate.cs.usfca.edu with pine or mutt • Can be accessed remotely using IMAP to cs.usfca.edu • Remote login • SSH to stargate.cs.usfca.edu, then ssh to a lab machine (hrnxxxyy@cs.usfca.edu) • Do not use stargate for programming or compute-intensive programs • Web • Web pages may be placed in /home/web/username • URL: http://www.cs.usfca.edu/~username

  6. Available Resources • HRN 235 (aka “Starship Kudlick”) • 30 dual-boot Linux/Windows boxes • Classes during day, lab at night (9am-1am) • 5th floor labs (HRN 530, 535) • 32 dual-boot Linux/Windows boxes • 4 Mac G4s in HRN 536 • (OS X, Yellow Dog Linux) • Occasional labs, otherwise always available.

  7. Available Resources • Other labs (campus-wide ITS accounts) • University Center • Cowell • Gleeson Library • Keck Cluster • 64 Node Beowulf cluster • Used for parallel programming classes, research

  8. Academic Honesty • All students are expected to do their own work • Cheating is taken very seriously • We have expelled students for cheating in the past. • Examples: • Discussing general parameters of an assignment - OK • Copying someone else’s assignment – NOT OK • Looking at and directly using someone else’s code – NOT OK • Downloading code from the Web and claiming it as your own – NOT OK • Unauthorized “collaboration” on an exam – NOT OK • If you are unsure whether something is permitted, please ask!
