Summary of lab assistant comments:
(strikethroughs in the comments imply that I've added the comment to this summary section, not necessarily that it has been resolved)
- [ ] Add quizzes
- [ ] Add broader context - more on what the internet is, VPNs, proxies, etc.
- [x] Add more general terminal tutorials (we already have this in the python labs)
- [ ] The teaching privacy page may not be super interesting - consider removing/replacing?
- [ ] Make the image link on this page
target ="_blank". Also, the image renders weirdly on my computer - investigate this. - [ ] Define latency on this page (though it is discussed later in the lab).
- [ ] Google Doc is annoying - can we put this directly in lab pages?
Your Name: Satoko Ayabe
~~Overview of Lab Comments: i.e. I think that this lab is very short compared to the previous labs (recursion/lists had a pretty heavy workload). I think it would be nice if there was a way to divide up the material more evenly? (this is just a suggestion). Or maybe this wouldn't really matter because students can use the remaining time to catch up on other labs they haven't finished from before.~~

Does the output differ?". I think it would be better to say "ask someone with a computer far away from you what they got for their output". It would be less time consuming and it's good to encourage teamwork/communication (because this is when people start to work on their own and not talk to others in lab).~~

I think it's confusing to have to switch back and forth between the google doc and the lab page. I remember losing track of where I was and answering the wrong questions at the wrong times last semester.~~
Name: Justin Kim ~~Overview of the lab comments: The lab is very nice. Not a lot of coding, so I'm assuming that the lab check off questions deal with showing the person that checks the student off that how you do the Linux commands. Other than that, a suggestion was made to split up the material evenly. I think the lab is fine the way it is. I don't see the significance of the these command, so maybe more of a why you would use these commands. Other than that, nice lab. I think there should a couple of those self answer questions with this lab. That would be nice. All the links were working just fine.~~
Anusha Syed
~~Overview of lab comments: This is a really fun lab and I think it is perfect that it follows the recursion labs (which were definitely on the challenging side). Since it is a pretty short lab, I think it would be nice to have some quiz questions throughout about the commands. Other than that, I think it looks good!~~
Your Name: Emily Pedersen
~~Overview of Lab Comments: I really enjoy this lab! It's a great and easy to understand introduction to the Internet! I think the students will especially enjoy seeing all the different nodes the internet takes to reach its destination. In addition, I think it would be good for the lab to introduce other aspects of the Internet such as VPNS, proxies, firewall, and the different network layers as well.~~
Your Name: Nicolas Zoghb
~~Overview of Lab Comments: A short and fun lab that could be expanded on. I remember finishing this lab in record time. Maybe a few additional sections could be added to show the student the full potential of the Internet and some of its dangers too.~~

Is it tangible? How does it work? I know some of these questions are addressed in lecture, but reinforcing these concepts in lab wouldn't hurt.~~

Your Name: Michael Wang
~~Overview of Lab Comments: Personally, this is the beginning of some of the most interesting topics we cover this year and will prepare them well for the first few labs in cs61a! Most of the students have probably heard of downloading speed or ping, but not used in the actual computer science context, so this lab can be clarifying and enlightening. Though this lab is good, it's a little short. Perhaps additional exercises, like lab 0 in cs61a, can be emulated, where the students practice with the terminal to create folders and move files around without dragging them manually.~~
- [ ] ~~Page Link: http://app.teachingprivacy.com/ Type of Issue: Kind of restricted in what it can do. Severity: Minor Comments: Though this app is very interesting and very nicely made, it's very limiting to what you can search up. Only people who turn on their location tags (which not many people do) can access a map of their visited locations. Still cool, though, and raises many important concerns about metadata!~~
Your Name: Maya Angelica Hernandez
~~Overview of Lab Comments: A good lab as a break from all the previous, long, rigorous labs. Ties into lecture well.~~

I accidentally closed out of the video window and had to go back to the labs page to retrieve the lab. This isn't very important, just a time saver in case someone makes the same mistake I did.~~ ~~Page Link: http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs10/labs/cur/programming/internet/trace.html?topic=berkeley_bjc%2Fareas%2Finternet.topic&course=cs10_sp15.html&novideo&noreading&noassignment Type of Issue: lack of clarity Severity: minor Comments: Put in a short definition of what latency is. Especially since they have to answer a question on it, even though latency has its own half page later on in the lab.~~
Your Name: Charles Thorson
Overview of Lab Comments: The lab is fun and is a nice break from all the coding. Though, I felt that since it covers so many topics quickly and the students have such small exposure to this stuff before hand, sometimes it ends up with a lot of it just glossing over their heads. I really believe that the online privacy lesson at the end is very important, as this is one thing that will be important to anyone regardless of their future.

Also, some students tend to miss the part saying abort if taking too long and wait patiently for many minutes so we might want to highlight that they should abort if it is taking too long.
Your Name: Susan Shen
Overview of Lab Comments: This was a pretty interesting lab although it was a little hard to understand when my partner and I first tackled it. I found the privacy and metadata section to be most useful in understanding the complexity of the Internet. However, the main issue I had was that the content was not entirely related to the nuances of coding in Snap!, a reason which may cause students to plow through the lab as quickly as possible in order “to get it over with”.

Students might not know or remember what latency means, so it might be useful to include a short definition to refresh their memory.
Your Name: Amy Vatcha
Overview of Lab Comments: This lab was a good change from the previous ones. It is well-paced and does not overwhelm students. However, it is filled with a ton of reading and each page contains 2-3 definitions resulting a very theoretical approach to the concept. Although the Google doc and additional links on the last couple of pages give students a chance to try applying the concepts they learnt in lab, it is highly concentrated at the end of the lab instead of being spread out evenly throughout the lab.
Your Name: Florin-James Langer
Overview of Lab Comments: Very good lab. I really liked all the hands-on try it yourself things. I really have no issues on this lab.

Your Name: Ilina Bhaya-Grossman
Overview of Lab Comments: I like this lab a lot just because it gets students out of snap and on to more real environments, etc. However, I felt like some of the questions were a bit confusing to answer especially since the slides were not super explicit with information. I especially liked the privacy section because I feel like it tells a lot about social implications of technology that are not always talked about (and even if it is in lecture it's still nice to have hands on exposure to it).

Your Name: Sean Sullivan
Overview of Lab Comments: Easy lab, interesting and informative to those that want to know more about the topic. It offers a decent amount of information and skills that can be used outside of class. I remember when I did this lab and I actually ended up showing my friends what I learned. Great lab!
Your Name: Mason Fujimoto
Overview of Lab Comments: An interesting lab and one which directly reflects lecture. I anticipate some minor difficulties with those who wish to work on their own computers, however the tutorials on the first page are adequate.

However it later says that watching the video is just recommend. I personally feel from watching the video that it is unnecessary and possibly impractical with 20+ people watching the video at the same time without headphones and should be removed or changed to be totally optional.
I don't know yet if later labs use the Linux shell in the way the video describes as that may justify keeping the video in. Another suggestion would be to have everyone watch the video at once in the front of the lab to avoid issues with speakers and to be able to address questions to the whole group or possibly to replace the video with a short live demonstration up front.
Your Name: Jiachen Hu
Overview of Lab Comments: This is a relative easy lab comparing to the labs before. The concepts, however, were very important. The lab did a great job in introducing the techniques that are very useful even outside the classroom. However there might be one problem, when people are all watching the videos at the same time, especially the six minute history introduction, the sound may be mixed up and get quite annoying. Overall, great lab.
Your Name: Paige Pratt
Overview of Lab Comments: The lab is very interesting but can be hard to conceptualize. The lab does a pretty good job of explaining things. The main problem I had was some of the activities didn't necessarily explain how to use them for different computers so using my Windows computer I could not complete some things.

If it was broken down and explained a different way or gone into detail I think that would help make the lab more clear. When I initially read it I was confused for a bit.

On my computer it says there is not application called whois so if students use their own computers they cannot complete the activity.
Your Name: Morgan Ewing
Overview of Lab Comments: This is one of my favorite labs because it starts to introduce students to new applications and techniques which they can use in their everyday lives. I think that it is pretty straightforward and I would guess that the main source of confusion in this lab may come from the student typing something incorrectly. This should be a lab that students can complete with more ease than the last few labs. I especially like the information about privacy on the last slide because it is likely the most pertinent to the lives of students and gives the students ways to see their own information footprint (which is always interesting and maybe even scary).

Megan Carey
Overview of Lab Comments: I think this lab is a fun change of pace from the usual Snap! labs. However, I think that a little bit more information in some places might make a lot of things clearer.

I still don't fully understand what it means by "tracing the route does not succeed completely." What is failing?

Your Name: Henry Chung
Overview of Lab Comments: i.e. Was this lab good or bad? Too fast? Too Slow? Does it need something new?
The lab is an interesting one to say the least. It does however, depart quite rapidly from the other labs without any kind of preamble. A little foreword in which the lab informs the student that this lab will be departing from SNAP but will be using concepts they have learned and familiarized themselves with might be handy.

Questions could benefit from being directly presented in the same page they are presented, leaving a text box for the student to type in their answer. A separate Google Form or sheet of paper seems to me an inelegant solution.
The Questions should follow the "whois". They have no means of knowing the geographical position of nodes without that command.

The lab itself concerns itself with teaching students about multiple aspects of the "under the hood" workings of how the internet actually works, some historical perspective, etc... But this final page departs from that thematic lesson. This seems more a primer on the dangers of metadata and an attempt to increase awareness of the folly of releasing too much information online, but that lesson is something altogether different from what the rest of the lab seems to be going for. Its a departure that seems to weaken the lab as a whole, a break in thematic cohesiveness. If you have to include this message, I would try to rephrase how it is conveyed to students as to not detract from the importance of the earlier parts of the lab. As it stands, it seems like the point the lab is trying to get across is "we taught you about how the internet works to show you that there is a huge amount of info available to people who know how to access it BECAUSE you should be careful with your information" an altogether different message than "we taught you how the internet works, here are some final thoughts on why this can be important."
Your Name: Eurie Oh
Overview of Lab Comments: I thought that this was a pretty straightforward lab that went well with the previous day's lecture. The videos, however, can't always be played on every browser because they don't all have flash downloaded, so a reminder to the students might be helpful if they want to watch them. Also, it might also be nice to include more visually appealing images/excerpts. The lab, although short, has much less images than the other labs and I think by at least framing the example texts might help make the information pop out better.
Your Name: Jaysan Maolinbay
Overview of Lab Comments: This lab is a nice break from actual coding. It gives students a different point of view of the internet from what they were previously accustomed to. I'm assuming the lecture before this lab will familiarize students with some terms and concepts, otherwise it could get confusing. Beside that I didn't see any major issues with the lab. I'm a big fan of the footprint/privacy page, I think it is intriguing to see how much information can be released through social media.

Perhaps an explanation and a step-by-step text box to explain what is happening when trace-route occurs.
Caroline Kim
Overview of Lab Comments: The lab is generally straightforward. It provides a lot of information and practice for the different structures of the internet. It does seem like a lot of information is given, so making clear of the parts that the students should know seems to be needed. Otherwise, the lab provides a general overview of the structures of the Internet.

Your Name: Meghna Chatterjee
Overview of Lab Comments: This lab is very useful and informative in explaining just what goes on when we make requests on the internet. The tools learned through the lab are important as they are often used in other classes and even for internships. It's great to have this material be introduced to the students already. However, I did this lab on one of the lab machines, and I was unable to play the videos. I'm not sure if that might have just been the machine I was using, but this is something to keep in mind (maybe a summary of what's in the video for those who are unable to watch).
Your Name: Benjamin Smith
Overview of Lab Comments: This lab is very fun and a nice change of pace. It seems to be pretty easy and i remember finishing it very fast. It seems to be all introduced very fast and not reiterated in later labs though, which led to me forgetting most of the information brought up in this lab. However, the tools used here i quickly remembered and they definitely help with understanding the internet a bit better.

This could be confusing and a little more explanation would be helpful to fully understand this.
Your Name: Rocio Guerrero
Overview of Lab Comments: This was a good lab as it was very informative and easy to understand. Explanations for syntax and usage, as well as examples, were very clear and straightforward. I remember doing this lab when I took CS 10 last fall and I could easily follow the given procedures. The pictures of how the terminal is supposed to look like were also really helpful. I think this lab is of a good level of difficulty and is clear enough for a student to do on his/her own. However, I think the last page on privacy is pretty random, but still useful and very much related to what the students are currently learning so it's fine.
Elizabeth Steger:
Overview: I think this lab does a good job of showing the students a bunch of interesting internet concepts, both broad and specific, without being too hectic. Everything is well explained, there are helpful links to definitions and examples everywhere, and there's a lot of fun you can have with this lab, too. The end on privacy is awesome and eyeopening; it always seems to start great discussions. The lab does kind of have a feel of jumping around topics, but I think each individual page works, and it shouldn't be confusing for the students because of this.

I think it would be a good thing to include at the very end of the lab as a treat, maybe less students will see it, but I think more will go farther in the lab. I understand wanting to keep it with the telnet page and having something fun in the middle of the lab, but it's a little too much fun.

Severity: Minor (as it's only an extra thing to check out) Comments: The Panopticlick link doesn't work on my computer, which is really weird considering it looks like it's trying to send me to http://panopticlick.eff.org, which works when I copy it directly. Might just be a problem on my machine but maybe something to check on.
Your Name: Soham Kudtarkar
Overview of Lab Comments: I liked the fact that this lab didn’t require as much thinking as some of the previous labs do as this is the first lab after spring break; it is a good transition back into the routine of labs and school work. Although there was a lot of information to process, I feel that it was all digestible and engaging. I also found the discussion questions to be helpful to my understanding of the lab. Overall, this was a very well-written lab!

Your Name: Maaz Uddin
Overview of Lab Comments: I found this to be one of the most interesting labs we have done. The fact that students can learn a lot about the internet and the different aspects about it is not just good, but important since a lot of the topics from the lab are things people talk about quite often when dealing with TV providers, online gaming, telephone lines etc. Overall the lab was rather fun and concise, and it educates the students with some very important lessons.
P.S. The Star Wars movie in the telnet page is a really nice touch. I think including some kind of link to how that was made would be really nice too.

I remember doing this lab last semester and not understanding telnet as well as I understood everything else. I think an analogy or example should be included to help students understand it better.

It honestly is more than just "a note", it really should be labeled as a warning. It could end really messily if someone unknowingly uses the command on a lab computer.

Your Name: Jiazhen Chen
Overview of Lab Comments: This lab is a pretty interesting and relaxing one. Students don't need to do programing (which is great for them). It gives a pretty good overview of Internet. It talks about both the advantage and disadvantage. One thing that surprised me most when taking CS10 is about the net privacy problem. And I'm glad to see that you add this part into the lab this term. There's one more thing I think you can add to the lab is the structure of the Internet, also about ideas like LAN and WAN and so on.

Fortunately, there is a way to find out: The whois program allows querying the the top-level domain name registrar to find out the administrator (provider) and the owner of a domain." It has an extra "the" here.
Your Name: Jessica Larson
Overview of Lab Comments: I really liked this lab, I wish there were more labs where students could learn real world things/ things that they will use in other classes, like the shell!!
