Tasks in preparation for start of a new Term/Semester.

A larger annual list of tasks can be found here.

  • Deploy new TA computers.
  • Make TA accounts if at all possible.
  • Make Mailing lists
    • Freshen CS/IMGD/RBE Majors/Minors lists and mail-aliases.
      • In A-term, ensure all class-years are represented by the various majors mailing lists.
      • Also ensure that you're not emailing old departed class-years that are now gone.
    • update TA group mailing list (usually not in summer)
    • update SA group mailing list (usually not in summer)
    • Update Grad/Ugrad course mailing lists.
      • make sure CCC knows about the class mailing lists (-ta, -sa, -all, -staff for each list). These must be registered using a script in ~mvoorhis/recipients; this task should be automated.
    • Populate class-specific TA and SA mailing lists.
    • Do we know which faculty are teaching all the courses? Look for “unknown-faculty” in the class aliases.
  • TA ID numbers–sometimes tough as we may not know who they are; they may not be registered…
  • keycard lock lists.
    • Office Hours area (TAs and SAa)
    • WICS (will be housed in ACM area in the future?)
    • Others?
  • Make class web areas (for faculty that want them), i.e., ~cs1234/public_html/a09.
  • Make CCC Unix groups if needed
  • CCC /cs/cs[12345]* dirs created for faculty that want them
  • CLI Turnin class lists set for faculty that want them
  • Bullpen is ready (no more) ?
