Scheduling

This quiz is a walkthrough of the scheduling system. There are no wrong answers.

By the end, you will have scheduled a one-on-one with an instructor and learned how to reserve machine time.

Context:

In our open-shop format, scheduling helps you make the most of your time:

  • The instructor is available whenever the shop is open, except while meeting with another student.

    For everyone's convenience, booking a meeting slot is greatly appreciated.

  • You will reserve a machine to practice skills and work on projects.

    Scheduling a machine guarantees you use of that machine.

Note:

You may need to be logged into your student email to use the scheduling system: email login

Here are resources if you need help accessing your student email: email help
