1. Faculty - Do the SINC Sites have the software that your
students need?
If you would like to use a particular software package with your
class, will your students be able to use it in a SINC Site?
Were you aware that Programs that are run from CD's or Disks must
be included in our RUN list for them to operate even if they do
not require installation? (This includes programs that come with
the textbook)
Please notify Instructional Computing before Wednesday, January

class.
