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.

Computers at CC B Just about everyone has their own laptop. However, there are printers and computer labs available all over campus so it is not necessary to carry one's laptop around with them. Some of the labs (like the one in the student center comprising of three working computers) are old and need to be replaced. Others are brand new and state of the art, equipped with beautiful, fast-working Macs or PCs. 12345 Computers: February 19, 2010 Report

Network Reliability and Speed B- Most of the time, the network works just fine, but depending where you are on campus, network coverage can be spotty and slow. It's also a pain because every time you go to print something you have to reconnect to the network printer you have to print from, or at least in my case. 12345 Computers: February 09, 2010 Report

Spaces and Places for the Bio Student, the Filmmaker, and That Kid That Just Wants to Stream Video A We are extraordinarily lucky to have free printers and computers in almost every building and department. Although the main clusters in the library are bound to be busiest when students are printing readings after class, and sometimes run out of ink, the staff is super helpful. There are plenty of hidden computer labs to be found in building basements, and several 'state of the art' for video editing, photoshop, and scanning, there are also laptops available to use for the day from the circulation desk. One can also save documents on the network drive making it easy to hop around on computers and have documents (read: thesis backups) wherever you are! 12345 Computers: February 06, 2010 Report
