CSC 241: Introduction to Computer Science I

Accessing and using CodeLab

CodeLab is a great resource that allows you to do mini practice-exercises.  During class, on labs, and on assignments for this class you will be required to complete exercises using the CodeLab system. 

This document describes how to obtain a subscription to CodeLab and how to log in. Be sure that you read this page in its entirety before you start using the CodeLab system.

Getting access to the site

In order to use CodeLab you first need to register.  To do this, go to the TuringsCraft site www.tcgo1.com and select "Register for CodeLab".

Choose an email address that you check frequently. Click that you're not a robot and press the submit button. After you've done that you should receive an email with information to complete your registration.

During the registration process you'll need to provide a name. Be sure that the name you choose is a name that I will recognize, since it's the name that will appear on my grade roster!

You'll also need to provide a section access code. The access code for our section for Winter Quarter 2018 DEPA-26106-GGSN-35.

Obtaining full access

Be aware that the initial sign-up gives you the ability to submit only 10 exercises for free.  However, since we will be doing much more than 10 exercises, you will need to obtain full access. CodeLab makes it easy to do this by providing a link next to the course that you signed up for whenever you visit the "Lobby" of the CodeLab site.

Full access costs $25 (plus a $2 fee) for 52 weeks. Click the "Gain Access" button and follow the directions there. There are a variety of ways to pay for CodeLab access. If you have any questions contact the CodeLab staff at arnow@turingscraft.com.
