Computer Classroom

Our labs for this course are the "Computer Classrooms" 2020 Sciences Lab Building. Python is installed in these labs. The labs are used by other classes as well as ours and may be closed to us during hours when other classes are meeting. Or, they might not be closed when they are scheduled for other classes. It is often worth it to show up and see.

Python is also installed in the Open Access Labs in 75 Hutchinson. This room is never reserved for classes; show up any time to work.

Finally, Python is installed in 1131 Meyers, for use by ECS 15. You can use this computer classroom, which like ours, may be reserved by other classes.

Computer Room Holiday and Closure Schedule

If you're working in the computer classrooms or other campus computer facilities, you will need to save your work somewhere. One possiblity is to get a "flash drive" (also known as a "thumb drive") to keep your programs on. These are available from the bookstore, complete with UCD logo, about $25, and probably more cheaply from other places. 128 MBytes is plenty big enough for this course. Another possibility is to save your programs in your personal space on myUCDavis.

If you have a computer of your own, you absolutely should install Python on it. It will make your life much easier.
