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:
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):
Just click this button to log out again.
Even when not logged in, you see a link to the "My Lab" page in the navigation panel:
However, the page that you will see when clicking that link now 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 tutors:
If you do not see the links, please contact the organizer of the advanced lab course.
The "Help" link takes you directly to this page "List of students" presents you, well, a list of all the students in the current semester.
You can add a new lab appointment by clicking on the corresponding link below the logout button. You will be presented with a page like this:
You can select the experiment that you tutor (if there is more than one) and the date for the lab. You can also select up to three students, who will take part in that lab. The selection boxes contain all students that are registered for the current semester. If a student is missing, please inform the organizer!
Clicking on "Add appointment" will add the new appointment to the system.
The more usual case will be for the students to request appointments via the ALC homepage. You will see those requests on your MyLab page:
Hovering the mouse over the "+1" (could be different number) will show a tooltip with the other students this student would like to have as lab partners. Hovering over the speech bubble will show a comment made by the student, if any.
You can remove an appointment request by clicking on the black circle with the minus symbol or process it by clicking on the arrow in the green circle. This will take you to a page, where you can create appointments from the requests:
This page shows you all requests for a given lab on a given date. A list of all the students is given that want to take part in this lab as well as their requested lab partners and comments (if any). You can select all the students, for which you actually want to create an appointment and click the "Create appointment" button. The requests for all the other (not selected) students will stay in the system, so you can process their requests later.
You can also change the date of the lab, by selecting one from the list or by entering a new one in the field below. Please discuss this with your students, before changing the lab to a day, on which the students might not be available!
On the main page of My Lab, you will see a list of upcoming labs, if there are any. With the appointment from above, you will see something like this:
In the list, all appointments for your experiments will show up, giving you the date of the lab, the experiment and the students who take that lab.
The two buttons that show up are the orange edit symbol for changing the appointment and the black minus sign to remove it.
In the list of upcoming labs you can click on the minus button at the right hand side to remove a button. You will then see a confirmation page:
If you really want to remove the appointment, tick the checkbox and click the button. Note that this action can not be undone!
You can also edit an appointment by clicking the orange edit symbol in the list of upcoming labs. This will take you to a form that looks exactly like the one for adding an appointment, but allows you to change an existing one.
After the date of the lab has passed, it moves from the "My schedule" list to the "Finished labs" list:
You should confirm the completion of the lab by clicking the green arrow at the right hand side for the specific lab, which will take you to the confirmation page:
Here you can select the tutor who actually supervised the lab and will receive the reports, and the students that took part in the lab. If a student was missing, just deselect them. Click on "Clode appointment" to finally close the lab.
After closing a lab appointment, you will see a new list of "Pending reports" on the My Lab page:
From the students listed here you should get their reports within a couple of weeks and ask them to work on it until it is in an acceptable state. If that happens, you can click on the green arrow on the right hand side, which will take you to a page, where you can accept the report:
By ticking the checkbox and clicking the button you confirm that the report was in order. Now the student will be allowed to take their exam and your work is done for today.
