We've negotiated access for CS
162 students to the Hearst Field Annex C30/C50 labs with the following
restriction: Use of the machines cannot interfere with CS 3 and CS 61A lab sections, which run Tu 9:30am-8pm, W 9:30am-5pm, Th 11am-8pm, F 11am-5pm. If students avoid those hours, there will be no problems with providing access to HFAC labs for CS 162 students However, if the lab staff catches anyone interfering (they reported that in the past CS 162 students have been notorious for invading CS 61B and 61C lab sections during project crunches), access for ALL CS 162 students will be removed. You'll need to take their cardkeys to 387 Soda to have this access added. You will get the same 24x7 access that CS3 and CS61A students have. Please remember that any abuse of this access will cost everyone. |

AirBears,
UC Berkeley's wireless (802.11B) network service, is available in the
following rooms: 10 Evans (please limit your
use during class)
AirBears is separate from the EECS wireless network (available in the rest of Soda and Cory, etc.). If you are a user of the EECS wireless network, you will have to switch wireless networks if you move between an EECS zone and an AirBears zone. Unlike EECS's wireless network, AirBears uses no encryption, but requires a CalNet ID for authentication. |
