Classrooms in Newman Library

Torgersen classroom standard setup

The Torgersen Library classroom, located in room 3310 Torgersen, see map, offers 22 student stations and one instructor station: 2.8 GHz Dell PCs running Windows XP with 1 GB of memory and 16" flat panel monitors. This classroom can be reserved online. Instructors will want to note the Library Classrooms Policy. Each desk can accommodate only one student, so this classroom will comfortably fit 22 students.

We strongly suggest that Instructors make arrangements to test software and sample files (particularly if they are not part of the standard setup) prior to the class. The security settings on these computers will not allow the installation of software. Instructors can contact Classroom Management staff to determine when other classes are not scheduled and find time to test software. Classroom Management staff can also demonstrate the operation of the classroom projector and sound system. These preparations will lessen the chances of problems or surprises during the actual class.

The remote to the Epson projector is mainly used to turn the system on and off. The projector will show whatever is displayed on the Instructor's monitor. Instructors who require attaching other computer equipment (like laptops) to the projector will need to make prior arrangements with Classroom Management staff.

VHS and DVD players are available. Campus cable is also available in this room, including standard cable channels and satellite programming arranged through Communication Network Services..

The following software is installed as part of the standard setup for this classroom. Instructors who require additional software or sample files will need to give at least ten working days notice to Classroom Management staff to allow time for installation and testing.
