You may want to bring a jump-drive (a.k.a. a flash-drive or thumb-drive) to
the lab sessions in order to save your lab work done for homework. A better
alternative is to save your work to your University computer account (see the
next item).

You should verify your Dante account password on the UW system - you may find
it most convenient to save your lab work for later retrieval on this site.
