How to register for CS170

To register for this course, first edit your .cshrc file (in your home directory). Add these two lines to the end:

setenv MASTERDIR /home/ff/cs170
set path=(/share/b/grading/bin $path)

Then, after editing your .cshrc file as above, run these commands at the command line:

cd
source .cshrc
register

If you want to check that you are registered correctly, run:

check-register

If it doesn't seem to be working, please check that you have copied the above lines into your ~/.cshrc file exactly as shown above. Check for typos: they are most common cause of problems.

If you're taking another course using the same system this semester, you probably shouldn't set MASTERDIR in .cshrc. Instead, you should enter the 'setenv MASTERDIR ...' at the command line every time you use the system, to indicate which course you're dealing with.

Alternate approach

Here is another approach that will work. This might be slightly easier to use, because it does not require editing your .cshrc file. To register, just run

/share/b/bin/register

Other commands are also available, including:

/share/b/bin/re-register        - to enter new data about yourself
/share/b/bin/check-register     - to see what you entered
/share/b/bin/glookup            - to see what grades have been entered
