Project Week Lab Etiquette

Hey Everyone,

Just a heads up as we head into Project Week (and before we all go a little crazy together)…

Please DO:

  • Be nice, courteous and friendly to everyone in the lab.
  • Invite friends or even random classmates out to dinner with your group – because we all know that many of us will be in the lab past dinner time, wishing we’d started our projects weeks earlier.
  • Share your favorite gdb command with that sophomore next to you who is struggling to debug their C code.
  • Schedule a finals study session with your classmates and head to your favorite breakout. Ask the ACM officers about whiteboard markers and supplies.
  • Work hard and have fun!

Please DO NOT:

  • Sleep in the building.
  • Imply that anyone is dumb or doesn’t know what they’re doing – we’re all pretty smart around here.
  • Vandalize the building, make a mess in the the lab, or mess with someone else’s backpack/notes/computer.
  • Shout obscenities or rude comments – even just to your friend, when you’re joking, it might make other people uncomfortable.

We have an awesome lab culture because there are so many awesome people in our department – let’s all work to keep it that way.

Good luck on projects and finals!
