Chapter 14: Frequently asked questions 14.13.2 What is the Staff Student Consultative Committee (SSCC)? 78 the contacts for your program. Alternatively, you can email: pgadmin@cs.rmit.edu.au. Your identity will be kept confidential. This is an informal committee that meets, on average, three times each semester. SSCC meetings involve students and relevant staff - including the program advisors, Teaching and Learning Advisors and the Program Leader. All Computer Science Postgraduate students are invited to attend these meetings and will usually be sent an emailed invitation directly to their student account. SSCC meetings provide students with an excellent opportunity to meet with the program staff and to provide valuable input in order to help improve the quality and delivery of programs and services. Students are strongly encouraged to use this forum to give voice to issues that have not been satisfactorily dealt with after attempts at direct consultation with the lecturer/tutor or to give voice to issues that are considered by the students to be too sensitive to mention directly to a lecturer. Anonymity is ensured and protected. Lecturers will not know the names of the students who make comments at SSCC meetings. A link to dates and minutes of these meetings as well as student representative details and information on how to feedback are obtainable from the CSIT SSCC page at: http://www.rmit.edu.au/csit/sscc 14.14 Computer Accounts and System Issues 14.15 Computer Languages 14.15.1 What Computer Languages do I need to know? See “System Help” on page 100. Remember NEVER to allow someone else to use your account and do not give your password to anyone. Check the “Last login” date and time that appears as soon as you log in. If you suspect someone may know/guess your password change it IMMEDIATELY. It is also good to change your password regularly. You should also read the School’s Acceptable Use Policy to familiarise yourself with security and privacy issues: https://inside.cs.rmit.edu.au/rules/acceptable-use.shtml Students undertaking the Master of Technology (Information Technology) (MC062), Master of Technology (Internet and Web Computing) (MC063), Graduate Diploma in Software Development (GD055), or Graduate Diploma in Internet and Web Computing (GD059) will be provided foundations towards their chosen study area. Students undertaking the Master of Applied Science (Information Technology) (MC061) should have deep knowledge of C and Java under Unix. If you are a GD055 GDipSD or MC062 MTechIT student you may wish to consider doing an extra course - COSC1321 Computing Fundamentals. It provides instruction on fundamental conceptual building blocks and C language programming. It is particularly useful for those students from non-computing backgrounds. It is important that you check the prerequisites for each course with the formal course guide via: http://www.rmit.edu.au (select ‘courses’ from the drop-down list, then type the course code or title into the search box to locate the course guide).
14.16 Computer Purchase 14.16.1 Should I buy one? 14.16.2 What about Software? 14.17 Contact 14.17.1 When can I see my lecturer or tutor or the Program Advisor? 14.17.2 How up to date is your contact information? 14.17.3 What are the methods of communication between the program advisor and students in the program? Chapter 14: Frequently asked questions Students who have access to a computer at home enjoy an advantage. The choice of computer is entirely up to you, however, based on discussions with students and our experience, any of the following will be adequate: • A MacOSX machine with at least 512Mb of memory and a modem of 56K baud • A fast Pentium with at least 512Mb of memory running Linux or Windows 2000 and a modem of 56K baud This depends on the courses you undertake. A good compiler environment, such as that provided by Metrowerks Code Warrior is a good idea, as is a word processor. The latest version of Firefox or Internet Explorer is also advisable. A CD with a public domain C compiler and other free software is available from the Duty Programmers. In general, students seem to find that running Linux on their PC or running OSX (unix) on their Apple Macintosh is a useful approach. Students can additionally access the free software download site at: http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=qjmuq0ybt90c Each staff member will advertise (on their door or homepage) their consultation hours. A staff member’s home page should be visible from http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/general/contact/phone.shtml by clicking on the name of the lecturer. Students can also make an appointment with a number of staff members via the CSIT inside site at: https://inside.cs.rmit.edu.au/staffbooking/ You should meet lecturers at those times. If these times are not suitable, then you should email the staff member to try and arrange an alternate time. Have you moved, changed addresses at home or at work? Has your phone number changed? You must notify RMIT of any such changes as soon as they happen. You can do so by submitting a “Change of Personal Information” form (which can be downloaded from http://www.rmit.edu.au/student-records/studentforms) to the Hub (City campus, Building 12, Level 4). If you do not ensure that all your information is up-to-date, you are likely to miss out on important University correspondence. International students need to also inform RMIT International in Bourke Street. The prime method of communication is electronic. This means that you will need to access the RMIT computer system at least three times weekly to ensure that any items of interest about the program are known to you. In most cases this is not an imposition. You will be using the computer system as part of your work and it is therefore simply a matter of ensuring that you peruse the relevant information each time that you log in. Reading your email daily is strongly advised. Go to the following URL to read your mail: http://studentems.rmit.edu.au/ 79
