Questions
- 1. Be On Time
- The Computer labs are the only place where many students can do
their homework. Students and faculty expect the labs to be open
as posted. Labs cannot be open unless a proctor is present. Late
proctor arrivals will not be tolerated! You can and will be fired
for repeated tardiness.
- 2. Labs Must Not Be Left Unattended
- If you must leave the lab during your shift, find another
proctor to sit for you or get someone from the systems staff.
You can and will be fired for unattended labs.
- 3. Proctors Are Responsible For Their Shifts
- If you are scheduled to work a shift and can not make it send
mail to proctors asking for someone to cover for you. You should
also give up the shift on the trade broker. This does
NOT transfer the responsibility away from you. You are still
responsible for that shift until someone else relieves you.
Essentially, proctors can take responsibility for a shift,
proctors cannot give the responsibility away. You can and will
be fired for repeated abscences.
- 4. Keep The Lab Clean
- Typically, there tends to be a heap of stray papers and
things like pen caps, broken pencils, etc. Please collect and
place paper in recycling bins and place other garbage into the
trash cans.
- 5. Monitor against theft of computer hardware.
- In case of an emergency, or if you have a reasonable cause to
suspect that a theft has just taken place, call the NU Police
immediately at x2121 and send mail to lab-admin.
- 6. Check all the machines, notify systems of any problems.
- During your shift, check all the machines in the lab. Report
any machine problems hardware, or software, to the systems
group by sending email to both systems and lab-admin.
- 7. Keep the printer full
- Keep the printers full of paper. Printer paper and cartridges
are available in room 102. If supplies run low contact the lab-admin.
- 8. Keep the Lab Quiet
- The labs are intended to be productive work areas. Computer
games must be played with the volume off. Games are allowed
only when there are no students waiting to use computers.
If the person hassles you in any way send mail to both
systems and lab-admin plus you could phone the NU Police at x2121.
- 9. Answer general questions
- Proctors should try to assist users, often by suggesting
where to go for help. See the Answering User Questions
section of this manual for help.
- 10. Fix minor problems, especially printers
- Proctors should try to keep the printers printing. If the
machine or printer simply will not reboot or reset
correctly, then send mail to both systems and lab-admin.
- 11. Email
- Your primary communication with the proctors is via Email. If
some action is needed from the systems staff, such as repairing
a broken machine, send mail to both systems and lab-admin. Other
mail concerning your payment, your proctor responsibilities,
etc. should be sent to lab-admin only.
Another way to think of it:
systems has super-user permission and the tools to fix broken or
confused machines. Lab-admin is a student who tallies the data so
you can get paid on time.
Mail sent to proctors will be seen by all proctors. You should
send mail to proctors when offering a shift that you know you
will be unable to attend. Please mail the appropriate audience
- 12. Proctors must always carry their NU ID
- The NU police occasionally check proctor IDs, and match the
name to the police proctor list. Plus you need your ID to access the lab anyways.
