Chapter 14: Frequently asked questions 14.17.4 What sources of electronic information should I look at on (at least) a twice-weekly basis? 14.17.5 What is the primary method of communication between students and lecturers? 14.18 Course Guides 14.18.1 The descriptions of the courses in this booklet do not list text books. They do not tell us how we will be examined, nor how much practical work there is. How do I find out? 14.19 Deferment 14.20 Deferred Exam 14.21 Dial-up access 14.21.1 Can I access RMIT from home via TCP/ IP? 80 Most importantly you should check your electronic mail (EMS). You should clear out any old mail to ensure that there is room in your account so new notifications do not bounce. Also check any newsgroups and web forums announced in lectures or course guides for your course or program. You can usually access the web forum via the lecturer’s home page. Direct Communication! We encourage students to see their lecturer not only when they do not understand a topic or lecture, but for any matter to do with the course. We recognise that in some instances students are reticent to speak directly with the lecturer. Alternatively, students can attend Staff Student Consultative Committee (SSCC) meetings and voice their issues or they can send anonymous comments with another student who will attend an SSCC meeting. Or, if the matter is urgent, they can go and see the program advisor. It is very important that students are responsible in reporting areas that they perceive require quality improvement. Statements such as “the lectures were not clear” do not help. Please be explicit: list the topics that weren’t clear; think about the reasons that they were not clear. Each course is different. The course descriptions in this booklet are only brief outlines. To see the formal (and comprehensive) course guides for the courses, go to the RMIT home page at http://www.rmit.edu.au, select ‘courses’ from the drop-down list, then type the course code or title in the search box. If you feel uneasy about a course please take the opportunity to email or ring the lecturer. They may refer you to a text book before the semester commences. See “Withdrawal” on page 103. See “Exams” on page 83. You can use one of the RMIT ITS modems for PPP (there are currently 150 modems for the whole University), or use your own ISP. Details can be found at: http://www.rmit.edu.au/its/remote If you wish to telnet into the Computer Science machines, you will need to use an SSH compliant telnet program. These are available free from the Duty Programmers office (Building 10, Level 10, Room 13) - ask for the student CD.
Chapter 14: Frequently asked questions 14.21.2 What is PPP? PPP stands for Point to Point Protocol. It is a method of encapsulating various datagram protocols (including Internet Protocol) into a serial bit stream so that it can be sent over a modem. 14.22 Dissertation (and Minor Thesis) 14.23 Duty Programmers 14.23.1 Where do I find the CSIT Duty Programmers? 14.23.2 What is the role of the Duty Programmers? 14.24 Email 14.24.1 Should we use our hotmail or yahoo or other external public / bulk email systems? 14.24.2 What is the email tool then? 14.24.3 How much mail can I accumulate? 14.24.4 Should I forward my EMS email? PPP is one of the ways that the Internet can be extended over a modem. When you connect using PPP, your computer is part of the Internet while you are connected. A list of topics is available at https://inside.cs.rmit.edu.au/students/pgrad_projects/. The Duty Programmers counter is located at Building 10, Level 10, Room 13 - just down the corridor from the School Office. You can also email them at helpdesk@cs.rmit.edu.au. The Duty Programmers can assist with any problems you may be having in connecting to a particular machine and problems you may be having with a workstation or server. They are also there to help you solve any programming problems you may be having or to suggest ways of handling the problem. They are NOT there to write code for you as this is not one of their duties. Questions relating directly to assignment work should be directed to your course lecturer or tutor. No. If you send email from these accounts, you may get no reply. The University has now blocked access to Hotmail and other free email accounts due to the number of viruses that were being spread into the system via them. Students are encouraged to use their RMIT email account as their primary email address. There is an excellent web-based client (Student EMS) which you can access at: http://www.studentems.rmit.edu.au/ Student EMS allows you to change your NDS (not yallara or numbat) password. If you have trouble with this, or any aspect of Student EMS, then contact the Duty Programmers. You can only have a maximum of 6Mb of email. Make sure you clean out your email regularly or new messages sent to your mailbox will bounce and you will miss critical notifications. Any read email will be deleted after 14 days, and any unread mail after 30 days. There is no facility for students to exceed their disk space allocation. If you forward your email from RMIT to another account please be very careful that it does not generate an infinite loop. In particular, do not forward EMS email to yallara if you have a .forward file on yallara that forwards to EMS. 81
