College Prowler Take

CC has done a fairly good job of keeping up with the technological revolution that has swept the world in the past decade. Most noticeably, the professors at CC have recently become quite tech savvy. In addition to using e-mail as a principal source of communication with their educators, students can expect to do a portion of their homework online in the form of e-journals, nightly reflection papers, and Powerpoint presentations. As a result, students can also expect to spend a good chunk of their time in one of the computer labs. Fortunately, CC has put a genuine effort into keeping its electronic resources updated, and more importantly, numerous. Each of the three large residence halls has a computer lab with at least five computers. In addition, all academic buildings are equipped with labs for research and paper writing. Generally, students have little trouble finding an open computer. However, the block plan creates a situation in which chunks of the student body have assignments due on the same day. On nights like these, it’s a good idea to find a computer early and guard it with your life. Most likely, there’s another open computer somewhere on campus, but it may take a little searching to find.

Recently, CC took the next big step forward in keeping up with modern technology by adding a wireless Ethernet system. This means that any student, faculty member, or administrator can sign on to the school’s system from a laptop anywhere on campus without the hassle of wires or modems. This advancement promises to make computer use easier and more widespread for those who can afford to upgrade their laptops with a wireless card.
