Google Calendar

Create a Google calendar including anything that you have on a regular basis (e.g. classes/weekly meetings)

Things you need to know:

You will need to make each class in your schedule a recurring event so it propagates for the whole semester.
Share this calendar with the lab email with See all event details

After the lab manager receives all calendars for the semester, the weekly meeting time will be determined. This meeting time will then be sent out via a google calendar invitation.

GitHub

Please accept the invitation email the lab manager sent to your PSU email account to be added to our Git Repository. I believe you will be asked to create a username, enter your email and create a password at this time.
