Walk in to Class Transition Time

Lab Assistant should recognize when the next class is starting

5-10 minutes before the start of the next class, Lab assistants should monitor the exit of the students that are NOT in the next class.

Monitor the exiting students:

CHANGE THE SIGN ON LAB DOOR FROM WALK-IN HOURS TO CLASS IN SESSION

- Make sure that the students leave in a timely manner to allow the lab to be reset before the incoming class is allowed in the room.

- Make sure that everyone is taking their belongings (cellphones, wallets, flash drives, etc.).

Restoring lab and Light Cleaning:

- Turn on ALL COMPUTERS, restart the ones that have been running using vision.

- Computers should be logged into "SOCSCILAB##" WITHOUT "workstation only" checked

- Check for leftover garbage or particles on the table and/or floor.

- Check the printers, making sure there is no pause or any ongoing print job.

- Make sure the printers are aligned properly and loaded with paper.

Monitor the incoming class:

Students usually start entering the lab 15-20 minutes before class officially starts

- Make sure that the incoming lab users are not entering lab with food/beverages.

- Monitor the lab until class start time AND the professor shows up, whichever is later!!

o Special Circumstances/Pointers:

- If a student is unwilling to cooperate to leave the lab/ put away food/beverages, please call in a supervisor

- You should not be idly standing by the printers speaking with other lab assistants just before a class starts. This is the time to pace the aisles to spot out food/beverages that are being hidden behind computers.

- If a student is cooperative, you can offer to keep their beverage in the office until their class is over. Ask them their name and write the class they are in on a sticky note and put it on the coffee/water bottle etc.
