Laney Computer Lab Case Study The first thing upon entry into the Laney Computer lab I noticed was a consistent mummer of quiet voices, as I began my entry. I chose this area because it was easy to observe, close by, and provided a diverse population of people to study. The atmosphere in the computer lab was clearly directed at studying, it was a calm, well lit room, with a cool temperature, and not too loud. A few people asked me some questions related to their work while I was there, but I noticed they seemed slightly, nervous, and the conversation was kept brief. I felt comfortable, safe, and a little stressed in the computer lab, because I could tell that most people did not want to be disturbed. At some points all I could hear was …show more content…
During my visit I noticed there seemed to be an unsaid social rule that when using the computers you should quickly finish your work, though there were no rules posted within plain sight referring to duration of your visit. People in this setting also, seemed to get frustrated when they noticed others using the computers for things other than what immediately appeared to be school work. Though some people were leaving, or entering with groups of friends, the occupancy of the room seemed fairly consistent. When I was there I did not notice a line to wait, but people were filling the room almost exactly as others were leaving the room causing the room to be nearly full of students at all times, but the room never actually reached full occupancy while I was there. The exact numerical data for this was about nine people would leave every fifteen minutes, and then they would be replaced on average by nine to ten people within that same timeframe. While I was calculating the amount of people coming in verses the number of people leaving the lab, I also decided to check the ratio of backpacks, verses no backpacks in the room. There were approximately thirty-two people with backpacks, and thirty seven people without them at any given point resulting in about an eighty-six percent rate of
FARMERS BRANCH, Texas – The Ladies only led by two at half, but the Maroon and White outscored the Crusaders 41-17 in the second half as Centenary (5-11) defeated Dallas Christian 74-48 Monday night, January 16.
When paying large amounts of money, most people like to get the most out of what they pay for. Students all across the country pay thousands of dollars to live on campus housing in educational institutions. At Valdosta State University, there are nine residential halls on campus with most of them being freshman dorms. The on-campus housing follows a strict policy that states only two people can be checked in per student. Many students agree that there should be more than two people who are allowed to check in at any of the given halls here on campus. The dorms should allow at least four people to be checked in at a time by each resident student. There could be a cap to the capacity at four, but that is a reasonable number as to how many people can come hangout in each dorm.
I am accustomed to my high school library where lots of students talked very loudly and rarely got any work done. At the Marist library, I walked down the hallway on the third floor where the reading rooms are. There were dozens of people in each room, but it was so silent that only my footsteps could be heard. I started walking at a faster pace because I was worried that I was disturbing the peace and that I should leave quickly.
The location was overall a very mixed place for a personal meeting. We were at the end of the hallway that was closer to the back door and there were times the door was opened and people walked in, sometimes to use the water fountain or to go to the bathroom and a couple of timers Mr. Cramer himself walked by to check on us and other students doing this same assignment. There were also moments of complete silence where the only thing that could be heard was the voices of Stephen and I, and there were also times where there was an echo of noise from the gym which was also close by or from people walking in and out of Berkshire Hall. As far as noise could go I would say it was a lot less noisy over all than you would expect a hallway to be during school hours. With that being said that does not mean that you could have heard a pin drop if it did. I enjoyed talking there because of the coolness of the floor combined with being out of the classroom made me feel a bit at home and comfortable to express
My class and I entered the building through the dining hall. The coherent elderly, who could transport themselves, occupied three-fourths of the lecture room-sized dining hall. Since my classmates and I were in unfamiliar territory, we delivered awkward greetings. After storing our belongings, my instructor assigned us eight to a CNA who works in the nursing home. Somehow, she placed my classmates with talkative extraverts, but she paired me with a stoic and introverted CNA. How exciting. We introduced ourselves with a rather brief and cliché greeting, and we started working immediately. I assisted my CNA as she picked up trash and cleaned the rooms. Due to these simple tasks, I presumed that the day would not be too challenging, but then breakfast time for the bed-bound elderly occurred.

In addition, each bay only has 5 rooms. Each room holds 5 to 6 students, with 3 bunk beds in each room. It is hard to sleep or study when there are that many people in the room. People play music loudly, to the point where a person can’t study because of the music or someone shaking the bed. Not only does this make it hard, but we also have to deal with people stealing items from other students.
The only times I’ve seen students leave the classroom was when they needed extra time to finish their tests from the night before. Also these students leaving the classroom
There are only 4 minutes for everyone to get from one class to the next; so please, please do clog the hallway. That includes, but is not limited to, going up the stairs on the left side or walking on the left side of the hall, walking in a big enough group to span the width of the hall, closing one of the doors in the hallway or neglecting to open one, or just walking at an annoyingly slow pace.
Coover hall was obviously built around the desires of every aspiring engineer at Iowa state university. Each floor has hundreds of the latest Linux and windows computers lined up patiently waiting to be used in every room. One of the best spaces inside Coover hall is that of the TLA, which is located on south side of Coover Hall near Sweeny. This lab with an open layout has spaces for laptops as well as containing an assortment of Linux and windows workstations for any engineering student to use. The talk lab also contains a magnitude of great Personal workspaces for completing your latest electronics projects. The Lab even contains full sized whiteboards for when you need to work out Furthermore lab is a quiet peaceful place to complete my school work. There is only the sound of whizzing air conditioner and pencils running across college ruled notebooks, to distract you from working! The back of Coover hall also contains many of the important labs on campus such as the nanotechnology lab, and the bio imaging lab which I someday desire to work in, researching and designing products for the future. Maybe the sleek design reminds me the purpose of wanting to
Its surprisingly to say that being in a classroom with full of strangers and having to talk to your classmates is the worst thing that could ever happen. You say something and you instantly think that they are going to judge you or make fun of you. What could be worse right! For example your professor assigns you to do have a group discussion, in this group we have the really loud person , the annoying person who talks a lot, the one that likes to show off of how smart they are and the one that is just there using there phone. And here I am having to deal with this , because that's life you have your ups and your downs.
Making it almost impossible to focus on getting work done. These issues were not always this bad it only started this year when they started keeping us from leaving the building or going to different parts of the school during lunch. I understand that these students in the hall’s behavior is unacceptable but I also understand that some people have a harder time controlling their pent up energy by denying us the ability to move freely between buildings removes some kids outlets causing them to act
In an ideal manner, a high school room always has a teacher in front of the class as well as some students sitting at their desk reading and taking notes. On the other side, some students dozing off, leaving a puddle of
The idea of students only needing a room with basic desks and a chalkboard brings up the following issue: “a person gets kept in a room with necessary water and nutrients to keep them alive. They get sunlight exposure and adequate physical exercise to keep their body functional.
One evening earlier this year, I needed to print a few pages for an assignment, but my computer printer was malfunctioning in my dorm room. I couldn 't believe this was happening to me. I just had a long stressful day and now this. My roommate noticed that I was frustrated and was fussing with the printer. He asked me what’s wrong and I explained the situation. He suggested that I went upstairs to use the printers on the 9th floor computer lab in South Quad. I have never been up there before so I decided to go give it a try. It happened to be 11pm at night and I thought there was going to be no one up there this late, but I was wrong. Surprisingly, there were actually a lot of people in there for being late at night. What could they be possibly doing at this time of night? Most of the students were doing some sort of homework, whether it was engineering coding or writing a paper. The remaining students were streaming some sort of show on an online television provider, most likely watching Netflix. I thought to myself, are there always people up here? Why wouldn 't they be doing this work on a private computer, such as a laptop, where no one can see what I’m doing? I grabbed my papers that I had printed then precede back down to my dorm room.
