My Lab

Help

Logging in and out

If you've made it this far, you've probably already figured out, how to log in. But just to make sure: on the right hand side of the page, you should see this:

Login button

Clicking on that button will take you to the login page of the Academic Cloud, which you know from many other services hosted by the GWDG.

After logging in with your usual university credentials, the login button from the beginning should have changed to something like this (with your name of course):

Logout button

Just click this button to log out again.

My Lab page

Even when not logged in, you see a link to the "My Lab" page in the navigation panel:

My Lab in nav bar

However, the page that you will see when clicking that link will be a little different, compared to what you get when you're not logged in.

Below the button for logging out, you should see some links for students:

Student links in My Lab

If you do not see the link to request an appointment, you have to join the ALC for the current semester, see below for details.

Join the lab course

When you are new to the lab course, your MyLab page will look like this:

Join link on MyLab page

Clicking this button will take you to another page:

Join lab course

Here you will be informed, for which semester you can join the lab course (which is always the current one) and confirm your request. After you have done that, the organizer will grant you access within a couple of days.

Note that you will only be able to join the lab course, if the organizer has a filled and signed safety form from you!

Request lab appointment

Once you have joined the lab course, you can request appointments for labs. To do so, either click the big "Request appointment" button on the MyLab page, or use the link in the sidebar on the right. This will take you to a list of lab categories, and, after selecting one, a list of experiments in each. Pick one and you will see a form for an appointment request:

Request an appointment

Here you first have to select a date for the lab. Available in the list are all Wednesdays in the current semester. Note that you can do labs on other days or after the end of the lecture period, but this should be the exception. Please contact the tutor of the lab you want to do via email to discuss details.

You can also select up to two lab partners from a list of students that have joined for the current semester. Note that this is just a suggestion for the tutor and your lab partners have to also request the appointment by themselves. Finally, you can add a comment for the tutor.

Now your request will show up on your MyLab page:

Appointment requests

By clicking on the black circle with the minus sign you can delete a request. You will be informed, when the tutor accepted or rejected your request. It will also show up on your MyLab page:

Upcoming labs
Lab reports

On the day of the lab it will be automatically closed on the ALC homepage and you will see it in your list of pending reports:

Pending reports

It will stay there until you produced a lab report that the tutor accepted. After that, it will be moved to the list of finished reports:

Finished reports

At any time you can upload a new version of your report to the ALC homepage by clicking on the green arrow, which will take you to an upload form:

Upload reports

Click the "Datei auswählen" (English: "Select file") button and select the PDF file on your computer containing the lab report. Then click on "Upload report" to actually upload it to the ALC homepage.

Exams

As soon as you have four finished reports, a button for creating an exam will appear (see above). When this is the case, you can find a suitable examiner (see list of examiners) and contact them to make an appointment for the exam. Only after this you should click the "Add exam" button, which will take you to this page:

Add exam

Here you can enter the date and time of the exam, the examiner, and select exactly four of your finished reports that you want to have examined. After that, click "Add exam" to create it.
