1) Regarding
any level of computer use in the computer lab or throughout the 2) All
copyright laws will be strictly observed in the Computer Science Department. No
software may be copied onto the network. Students may not copy the work of
other students or existing software from the system. Any routines or library
functions used in programming that are not the student's original work must be
properly credited. No student may use or attempt to use system utilities,
software, (downloaded or otherwise), or files not given by the teacher. The use
of third party or system utilities by the student is strictly prohibited. 3) No student
may set up or assign a private account, file attributes or subdirectory
privileges unless directed to do so by the instructor. Shared rights,
individual directories and parental rights are system capabilities that offer
advantage and flexibility. In cases where students are working jointly on
projects, are enrolled in more than one programming class, or are working
jointly on projects in more than one computer language, the teacher may make
one or more of these utilities available to the student. 4) Any
language, files or software found on the student's private directory will be
that student's responsibility. Only files that pertain to that class are
allowable and no special (hidden or otherwise) attributes will be permitted (as
stated above). It is further the responsibility of the individual student to
keep passwords private. There is no way that a password can be known to others,
including the instructor, except by telling it to someone else. Therefore,
anything which is in the directory or removed from the directory is the
student's personal responsibility. It is imperative that the student quit the
application and logout from the system before leaving the terminal. In
addition, it is prohibited to attempt to login to someone else's account
without the instructor's knowledge. 5) Any use of
CD's or disks must have prior approval of the instructor. In order to prevent
virus invasion into the labs the following procedure may be used. A transport
disk, which contains the current project file should be scanned and transferred
to the student directory. This should be done with the approval or assistance
of the instructor. 6) In some labs
each computer has a boot disk that may not be removed. When a student logs in
at a computer this boot disk becomes his/her responsibility. The boot disk
contains the files necessary to call up the network software and log a student
into the system. No one should save personal files or data on the boot disk 7) The network
system allows us to give access to particular users, at specific terminals, at
particular times of the day. In some classes students will be assigned seating.
Students must observe seating assignments. 8) After
school, lunch, and weekend usage of the lab: The instructors may open the lab
for student use on specified days. The same rules as those stated above will
apply. In addition, all students must be engaged in productive computer work
related to classes they are taking. 9) Vandalism of
any equipment in the computer lab will result in administrative action, the
least of which will entail immediate academic probation for the student.
Removal from class or from school may occur as well. Students who attempt to or
actually deface or damage any equipment or interfere with the running of
software in the computer area will be required to make restitution for the
property or for the restoration of the software and may either lose lab privileges
or be removed from the class. 10) No
food/drink/gum/etc. in the labs. A student
who does not follow the above guidelines will be subject to administrative
action that may result in removal from class or from school.
* All students must be engaged in productive
computer work related to the computer science class they are taking.
* All Internet activity by the student shall be with the teacher's knowledge
and direction and shall likewise be directly relevant to the computer science
class assignments.
* All Internet activity shall further conform to the Green Valley Christian
High School Internet Usage Policy which the student and family received prior
to the beginning of classes.
