Week 1

Welcome! I've wrapped all our initial setup activities into one project, uxi0, that I'd like you to perform by the given deadline (by 11:59:59pm / 23:59:59).
On Lab46, we'll be getting familiar with logging into the pod systems, and once there:
- opening up a terminal
- logging that terminal onto Lab46 for class work and in-class participation
Get familiar with how to log onto Lab46, and once on:
- change your password to something more preferable
- start working on the labs and other class activities
- start exploring
Read the Mages book!
Be sure to do the reading (located in the individual labs below)! There may be many pages, but there are many concepts to encounter.
The following labs are now available for you to work through:
NOTE: The labs are for your benefit, they are not submittable assignments.
Note that there are THREE (3) things due before the end of Thursday this first week:
- pct1 (if you took advantage of the bonus opportunity)
- uxi0
- wcp1
- week1 journal entry (which I plan to count as bonus; at the very least earn yourself a few points by removing the filler text).
