Starting fall quarter, room 102 in the Student Computing Center will be dedicated to individual study, while rooms 103 and 105 will be available for collaborative work. We are splitting the rooms’ functions in this way to cater to the various learning styles and study needs of the student population at SPSCC.
We recognize that sometimes your studies require a quiet, distraction-free environment. We also recognize that sometimes schoolwork requires collaboration and conversation with peers. We hope that designating 102 as a “quiet room” and the other two as more collaborative spaces will help meet these two distinct needs.
Does this mean that no one can make a peep in 102? Of course it doesn’t. And does this mean that room 105 is becoming party city? Obviously not. If you have a quick question in room 102 or would like to speak with a computer lab tutor, by all means feel free to do so. And just because 103 and 105 are more geared for collaboration, the focus of the Computing Center remains on schoolwork. Regardless of the change, we still ask that students practice respect for one another and for the lab environment, refraining from causing distractions for other students.
This is a new system that we’re trying, and, as with any new system, there may be some kinks as everyone adjusts. If you have feedback for us about the new quiet room, feel free to leave a comment below, or email Learning Resource Center admin Melissa Pico ([email protected]) or lead tutor Chris Dorn ([email protected]). Happy studying!
