    Dear Class of 2017,

    Welcome to the Queens School of Computing! On behalf of the students, staff, and faculty

    of the School, I am writing to bring you greetings and let you know how delighted we are

    that you have decided to join us. You will be glad you came.

    As you know, the Queens School of Computing provides a great variety of innovative

    undergraduate programs of exceptional quality. In addition to the School's flagship

    Computer Science program, you can choose from a diversity of specialized and

    multidisciplinary programs, including Biomedical Computing, Cognitive Science, Software

    Design, and Computing and the Creative Arts. Several unique courses, such as ComputerAnimation, Computer-Assisted Surgery, and Game Design, are highlights of our offerings.

    Undergraduates in the Queens School of Computing have several opportunities to

    undertake an industrial internship, engage in cutting edge research with our world class

    researchers, as well as being involved in enriching outreach activities.

    You may also be interested to know that our classes are small, that our doors are always

    open, and that the School enjoys a warm, supportive, and caring environment.

    I am very proud of the Queens School of Computing, its excellent instructors, its superbadministrative and technical staff, and its talented and inspiring students.

    It is a wonderful and exciting time to be a computer scientist. You live in the age of

    information. Computing is changing the world in which we live in profound ways, from

    medicine to business to entertainment, and everything else in between. As well, the

    computational paradigm is helping answer fundamental questions in the natural and

    physical sciences. And Computing has been around for less than a century. Imagine what

    the other fields of knowledge were like when they were this young. The future is bright for

    our discipline.

    Enjoy Orientation Week and best wishes for an exciting and rewarding first year!

    Sincerely,

    Selim G. Akl

    Professor and Director

    School of Computing Welcome

    Dont be afraid to approach your Profs and TAs with questions. Thats what theyre there for! If you need to kn

    the answer, chances are that at least 10 other people in the class need to know it too. Alternatively, most Pr

    have office hours where you can go to seek advice if you feel uncomfortable speaking out in class.

    Hello World!

    My name is Lucas Marcelli, the Orientation chair (known as the High Tech) for O-Week 2013! I am

    just about to finish up my third year of university, my second at Queens. This has been a crazy

    year of planning for the Tech Committee and I, so I hope you really enjoy what we have in store for

    you.

    Orientation week at Queens is probably the most amazing venture I have ever seen. Ive never

    directly experienced it as an incoming student, but I fell in love with it after being a frosh leader last

    year. The week is one of the best ways to make friends and learn about the Queens campus and

    community. Its run by the students for the students.

    One of the important things to remember is that you always have resources and people you can

    turn to. This handbook contains a lot of information about the different services that Queens offers,

    however this is just a small fraction of what you can do or where you can turn to. During my first

    year at Queens I know that I was too afraid to get involved because I didnt wantmy marks to

    suffer. Having gone through a second year now, I can tell you that getting involved is what made

    this year so amazing for me. I would strongly encourage all of you to get out there and get

    involved.

    Since November, your Tech Committee (myself and the other planners of your events) have been

    coming up with activities, contacting sponsors, booking events, and trying to make your frosh week

    as fun as we can. We have a great slate of events for you to attend. We have events where you

    can learn about campus, about your classes, about your new friends and about yourselves. There

    are events where you can run around and have fun, and events where you can just sit and relax,

    and events where you can get astoundingly dirty.

    On a final note, I have to ask every person that reads this to do one thing: Take a big deep breath.

    Dont you feel better? No one, and I mean no one, can come to Queens less prepared than I was. I

    didnt have my courses registered. I found a place to live the day before classes started. My arm

    was in a cast. I had no idea what or who to turn to for help with any of this. All in all it was a very

    difficult and rushed time for me. I have two pieces of advice for you from that experience. One: Dont

    do what I did. Two: If I can make it through being that unprepared, then so can you. It will be scary,

    it will be different, but youre going to make it and I am going to help you. Promise.

    Welcome Class of 2017!

    I am pleased to welcome you all to QueensUniversity, and the School of Computing. The years you spend here will

    foster growth, both academically and personally. Each student, staff and faculty member is here to ensure that you

    reach success. It would be very hard to find a group of students more tight-knit and supportive as those in computing. It

    has truly grown into an amazing family.

    Not too long ago I was in your very place, taking my first steps into the Queens community. The amount of information

    and emotion, and even the culture shock, that comes at you can be intimidating, but do not worry, before you know it,

    you will be completely at ease in your new home.

    The Computing Students Association (COMPSA) is always here to offer support. We are an entirely student-run

    government acting as the main representative body for all computing students atQueens. Your needs, voices and

    interests are represented to various bodies such as other faculty societies, the AMS or the School of Computing

    administration. We offer support for all students through private tutors, a Buddy Program and student-run tutorials for

    many of the courses you will take during your time here atQueens. We also host amazing events such as our semi-

    formal and End of Year Banquet. Our annual LAN Party, movie nights and weekly coffee with profs foster an

    amazingly inclusive environment. There are a number of ways for you to get involved so check out

    our website (http://compsa.queensu.ca), check us out on Facebook (COMPSA Computing

    Students Association), join the Class of 17 Facebook group, or check us out on Twitter (@compsa).

    I look forward to meeting you as you take your first steps into your new community. Queen s and Kingston will

    become your new home and I encourage you to make the most of your time here.

    Please feel free to email me if you have any questions, concerns, or just want to say hi!

    Sincerely,

    Sahib Purba

    President

    ComputingStudents Association

    Dear Class of 2017,

    Congratulations on entering Queens and beginning a new era in your life as a student.

    You are now a member of an academic community that values and promotes scholarlyachievements as well as the various social, cultural and personal skills demanded by the

    professional world. Queens University welcomes you as a member of this community and

    encourages you to challenge yourself to develop the highest scholarly standards while

    also involving yourself in the many other possibilities offered here.

    Seize the opportunity to be introduced to our academic community and resources by

    attending the academic events during Orientation Week. Once the academic year starts,

    take time to meet your professors, talk to your teaching assistants, and be ready to engage

    in all your classes, labs, and tutorials. Take advantage of the many resources and people

    available to support you in meeting your academic goals. A positive attitude toward your

    academic career is the best way to appreciate fully the many opportunities and

    experiences that our community offers you.

    As you become a fully engaged member of Queens University, we ask you to keep the

    following in mind. For first-year students, the pressures accompanying university life can

    sometimes be overwhelming when combined with the stress of being away from home for

    an extended period of time. Therefore, it is not uncommon for grades to fall in the early

    stages of the first year. Though marks are an important gauge by which to judge a

    student's work ethic and understanding of subject, incoming students should focus on

    developing effective study skills, communication with their professors and peers, and an

    open attitude toward intellectual life in general.

    University life is both a privilege and a responsibility. Therefore, the Queens community

    expects that its members will respect the rights, dignity, and differences of others, respect

    city and university property, and behave in such a manner as to be effective ambassadors

    for Queens at home or abroad. Above all, strive to realise your full potential, whatever it

    may be, and learn to know yourselves.

    Again, welcome to Queens and good luck in your first year of university life.

    The Tech Committee (TC) is a group of 7 upper year students who have been

    hard at work organizing Orientation Week 2013. They will be some of the first

    people you meet in the fall.

    ech Committee

    Lucas Marcelli (High Tech)

    Meet Lucas Marcelli, your High Tech. Lucas attended Ottawa University for the first year o

    his Computing undergraduate career. He was then recruited to Queens computing for his

    physics prowess and Defense of the Ancients skills. However, the skill did not come

    cheap. He burned off his left eyebrow during an overclocking incident, when trying to

    make his computer powerful enough to run DotA. He simply drew on a new one with a

    marker, and continued improving. Perseverance; that is what makes the High Tech so

    great. He will stop at nothing to ensure that the Frosh have the best week of their life.

    His likes include goto statements and boilerplate code. His dislikes consist of long walks

    on the beach, and social interactions.

    Nickname: High Tech

    Anthony Piersanti (Treasurer)

    Nothing is known of Anthonys background. There are only stories and legends, most of

    them apocryphal, passed down through the ages. In truth, Anthony is a mystery for whom

    the only true biography is description: he is a universal force, a consumer of worlds. He is

    a being of the void, at times corporeal, other times ethereal; a beast between the planes.

    Anthony has taken place as the treasurer for Computing Orientation. It remains a mystery

    why this being from another dimension believes the struggle for orientation week is worth

    entering our physical plane, but apparently an upset in the balance of money in this

    world has repercussions in adjacent dimensions.

    Nickname: Sleeping Beauty

    Catherine Chisnell (Sponsorship)

    She is the Xena of Computing; the Ada Lovelace of Orientation Week; the Marie Curie of

    kickin butt. Raised in a castle as a viking princess in the small Ontario town of

    Pembrooke, Catherine spent her days riding her pet unicorn and going on secret CIA

    missions to outer space. Catherine is a puzzle, wrapped in a mystery, consumed by an

    enigma, disguised as a riddle. She came to Kingston for some big city livin and to turn

    Queens University completely inside out. The sponsors wont be able to escape this

    cowgirls lasso, and shes here to make sure Orientation Week 2013 is a hootenanny.

    Nickname: The Lone Ranger

    ere is a considerable portion of the incoming class who will have little to no prior computing

    perience. This is not a problem whatsoever, as Queens offers a variety of first year computing coursesstudents of every skill level. For more info on these courses, consult the School of Computing website.

    Christopher Keeler (Fundraising)

    The hometown hero Christopher Keeler has spent many months training to prepare for the

    best Orientation Week ever. A descendant of the mighty Samson, Chris luxurious hair not

    only gives him superhuman strength, but also allows him to fundraise at a level greater

    than any mortal man. Having honed his event planning skills as the COMPSA CasualEvents Commissioner, Chris is more than prepared to conquer anything that comes at him

    Chris job is to put the Fun in FUNdraising, and is more than prepared to take on the

    difficult task of creating a highly strategic fundraising plan to ensure that the Tech

    Committee will have all of the necessary monies to create a fantastic week.

    Nickname: Chicken Salad

    Curtis Tremblay (Publications)

    Curtis Tremblay is one beautiful man with facial hair that can surpass the awesomeness

    of Karl Marxs in less than 4 hours. He is one reckless dude who has won the internetz

    more times than you have blinked in your life and his power level is greater than 9000.

    Curtis also possesses the ability to speak the Klingon language very fluently and is often

    seen on campus playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Actually though, Curtis is someone

    who we can all count on, and is one super cool guy who will make this Frosh week an

    amazing week for everyone.

    Nickname: Gordon Freeman

    Niv Yahel (Logistics)

    Originally born in Antarctica and raised by penguins, Niv Yahel found his calling as a

    student in the faculty of computing. His kind nature, cheery demeanor and excitement

    towards frosh week got him chosen as the logistics chair in the computing orientation

    committee. Nivs infatuation with orientation is only outmatched by his love of nurses. In

    Nivs spare time, when he is not saving the world from evil or completing a CISC

    assignment, he can be found cuddling penguins, wrestling grizzly bears or teaching

    small children how to read.

    Nickname: Happy Feet

    Sleep is an extremely important part of Orientation Week. There are a huge number of events during

    four days, and it is important that you maintain a high level of energy so that you may get the most

    the week.

    Sahib Purba (Academics)

    Hailing from the city of Mississauga, Ontario, Sahib Purba is most likely a super villain of

    some sort. It is really the only explanation for how he is able to be a second year

    Biomedical Computing Student, Vice President of University Affairs for COMPSA (QueensUniversity Computing Students Association), and our resident Academics Chair. There

    have also been rumors that he is always practicing an evil laugh and is looking to buy

    his own submarine to turn into an evil lair, though they remain unconfirmed. Through the

    sheer amount of swag this man possess he will soon be able to control the entire

    Computing Faculty and possibly Queens University itself from there I can only conclude

    he will take over the world. However, this will not necessarily be a bad thing. In fact he

    would probably just demand everyone calm down and listen to some sick beats. So

    maybe his helping to run Orientation week is just training to rule the world, but if someon

    has to do it At least hes willing to put in some practice first.

    Orientation week (also commonly known as Frosh Week) is the week prior

    to classes which contains a series of fun and informative activities. These activitiesare designed to familiarize with things you may encounter during first year, as

    well as with the campus and the community. All first year students are placed into

    frosh groups which are led around by upper year computing students. These

    upper years are known as Techs and are excited to answer all your pressing

    questions about any topic of your choosing. Computing students are classified

    as Arts and Science students but we offer our own orientation events so that you

    can get to meet all the fantastic people you will be taking classes with for the next

    four or more years.

    Orientation Week at Queens is run entirely by students, for students. There is an

    incredible amount of pride, energy and sheer excitement generated during

    Orientation Week that maintains itself year after year and you will soon be a part

    of this longstanding tradition.

    Besides being a ridiculous amount of fun, Orientation Week for all faculties and schools at Queens strives to

    further the following goals:

    - To make all new students feel welcome;

    - To facilitate a smooth transition into university;

    - To build a strong and inclusive community of students;

    - To make new students comfortable in their academic, social and environmental contexts;

    - To provide a solid foundation for a successful university experience.

    Orientation Week for computing is all about making you feel comfortable in your surroundings. For us that

    means tams, coveralls, cheering, fun, excitement, friends, and great times that you will look back on fondly.

    During Orientation Week, youll learn allabout the great things Queens has to offer. Orientation Week sets

    the stage for the rest of your university career and is an important step between being a high school student,

    and being a Queens student.

    All frosh week events are completely voluntary, and you dont even have to be a participant of frosh week to

    get the important academic information, however participating is strongly recommended because your Tech

    Committee can`t wait to meet you and neither can your techs (and your fellow students too we hope!)

    All activities are monitored by several different bodies within the school such as the Orientation Round Table,

    the Senate Orientation Activities Review Board and the Academic Orientation Committee for safety and to

    ensure that principles of inclusiveness and enjoyment are upheld.

    What is Orientation Week?

    Although you will be spending the majority of the week with your Orientation Group, there are man

    opportunities to meet members of the other groups, as well as members of other faculties.

    On behalf of everyone who spent countless hours, days, and even nights working to put it all together foryou welcome to Queens Orientation Week 2013! You are about to embark on a transformative journey.Your time at Queens University will surely be an experience that will not soon be forgoen. To help youmake the transition from living at home and to orient you in your new social, cultural, and academic envi-ronment is a week-long event known as Orientation Week, with roots going back to the early 1900s!

    By choosing Queens you have chosen a school with countless traditions and a long history that is rich withstudent leadership, passion, and pride. In fact, the school that you are about to aend is 26 years older thanCanada itself. Some of our traditions are quite well known, such as our school ght song, the Oil Thigh, orour athletics mascot, Boo Hoo the Bear. Others are more esoteric in nature, though ask anyone who has ever

    worn a Tam (another Queens tradition that is more than 85 years old) and they would be more than happyto share.

    Queens University has a plethora of opportunities to oer to those who choose to pursue them. Opportuni-ties vary from the clubs on campus to our athletic teams. Of course, you didnt pick Queens solely based onits beautiful campus, outstanding athletic teams, deep-rooted traditions, or the myriad of opportunities thatpresent themselves, just waiting to be taken advantage of. Like all of your new peers, you saw Queens forwhat it is an academic institution of the highest calibre. Over your time here you will be exposed to some ofthe most brilliant minds in your eld of study.

    Although Queens will certainly be the centre of your activities during your studies, I highly recommend thatyou get out and explore the beautiful City of Kingston. From the coee shops to the Wolfe Island Ferry, to

    the farmers markets, there are countless adventures to be had. I sincerely hope that your time at Queens isboth enjoyable and educational, and that your experience with Orientation Week is a positive one.

    On one nal note, I would like to remind you that you are now a part of a vast community of over 30,000sta and students, and no maer what troubles you will nd yourself facing, you will never be alone. If youhave any questions, concerns, or if youre unsure of where youre supposed to be during the week, visit theNerve Centre, located in the lower John Deutsch University Centre (JDUC). The Orientation Roundtable isalso here to help you. A commiee that oversees all of Orientation Week, we work with Orientation commit-tees, Faculty, and the University to ensure that Orientation runs smoothly, safely and responsibly. Through-out the week, youll see us out and about in our ORT swag. Dont hesitate to ask us any questions, or justdrop by and say hello we would LOVE to meet you!

    Welcome to Queens, and welcome home.Cha Gheill!

    Let me begin by congratulating you on selecting Queens and working so hard to prepare yourself forwhat are likely to be four of the most interesting years of your life. I am writing to you as your Univer-sity Rector for the next year. Ocially the third ocer of the university, the Rector serves as a represen-tative of all undergraduate and graduate students and is an advocate for you on the Board of Trustees asa full voting member. What signicance might this have for you as a student? Well, the Rector is, an om-budsperson to assist you with navigating the universitys administration and process and more broadlywith any issue you might have. I also often perform ceremonial functions on behalf of all students. I am

    a student just as you are, so please feel free to drop into my oce in the University Centre (JDUC) orsend a line to my email and connect with me. The Oce of the Rector is an independent oce and hasno ocial aliation with any student government at Queens, but is technically a university oce.

    As a voice for students, there are many occasions where I am aorded the opportunity and privilege tospeak on your behalf. This leer is one of those opportunities, but I wanted to experiment with it andactually allow some of the students to speak for themselves directly to you! I sent out a message onsocial media asking for advice that upper-year students would have liked to give themselves when theyarrived at Queens. Here is some of what they sent back:

    Take advantage of the opportunities to change your identity and break out of old habits

    Never be afraid to say hi. The stranger next to you could one day turn into your best friendPut more gelatin in your hair during EngCuts...that spray paint will be there three years later if youdont!!! Oh, and welcome to the best place in the entire worldLife begins at the end of your comfort zoneKeep your door open! You will meet the most amazing people!Savour every moment, once it gets started it ies byYoure about to meet some truly incredible peopleWelcome to the best four years of your lifeDont be afraid to be you. Get involved, explore, discover, and learn (from experiences, peers, profes-sors, and yourself). Queens has a lot to oer apart from academics, so make sure to nd a balance.Its okay to make new friends and spend some time with them, even though you have a test coming up.Its okay that you dont drink, your friends will respect your choices, not shun you. If they shun you, didyou really want them as friends?

    I hope that you will enjoy your Orientation Week that has been planned by the several hundred upper-year students who are eagerly awaiting your arrival.

    See you when you get here.

    Princeps Servusque Es,

I expect you will treat your campus peers and fellow Kingsto-nians with courtesy and respect. I also ask that you make considered, well-informed choices,both in your studies, and in your actions as independent and accountable young citizens. Goodjudgment, especially when it comes to safety, goes hand-in-hand with the enrichment of newexperiences.

    You are at the beginning of an important chapter in your life, and I wish you all the very best

    this year, and in those to follow.Cha Gheill!

    Goals of Orientation Week

  • 7/22/2019 Computing Orientation Manual 2013

    31/57

    As the Queens community welcomes its newest members, it is proud to be guided by the following principles:

    EQUALITY

    First-year students join the University community with all the rights of those already here. They should be givenall the support and assistance which new members of the community require, but should never be treated as subor-dinates. They should be made to feel proud to be here not to feel that Frosh are inferior.

    FREEDOM OF CHOICEFirst-year students can and should be encouraged to participate in the events of Orientation Week. They should alsoalways be free to choose when and how to join in, and to decline participation when they wish.

    RESPECT FOR DIVERSITYFirst-year students come from varied backgrounds and have highly varied interests and values. Dierences in gen-der, race, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, and religion should be treated with respect and sensitivity. The specialneeds of students with disabilities should also be respected.

    RESPECT FOR INDIVIDUALITYAll rst-year students are dierent, and they deserve to be treated as individuals. They should feel free to be dier-ent, and should not be expected to behave in a particular way to be accepted.

    PRIVACYEven when students live together, as in residence, they are entitled to their private space and time. They should not

    be disturbed when they have gone to their own room.

    First Year Students Bill Of Rights

    All students are required to adhere to the Universitys Code of Conduct. Initial responsibility for the enforce-ment of the Code rests with the Alma Mater Society (AMS) and the Society of Graduate and ProfessionalStudents (SGPS) on behalf of the Senate. In general terms, acceptable conduct does not infringe on the rights ofother members of the University community and conforms to the regulations of the University and its subordi-nate jurisdictions and to the law of the land. Hence it must be emphasized that the Universitys system of non-academic discipline should not be regarded as a substitute for the civil or criminal law but rather as a comple-mentary system that may be derived naturally from our existence as a clearly distinguishable community ofinterests. The following conduct is unacceptable and constitutes an oence within the University community:

    A. A violation of published rules and regulations of the University or of any authorized rule-makingbody within the University.B. Failure to comply with the directions of ocials acting within the scope of their authority, including,but not limited to, the Kingston Police, Queens Campus Security and the Queens Student Constables.C. Theft, perjury, vandalism, and willful or negligent damage to the property of Queens or of a mem-ber of the University community, of the AMS, SGPS, or of any other University organization.D. Assault of any nature; or discrimination or harassment, based, among other grounds, on race, reli-gion, gender, handicap, ethnicity, national origin or sexual orientation.E. All forms of academic dishonesty such as plagiarism, cheating, furnishing false information to theUniversity, forgery, misuse of university documents.F. A violation of the rights of any member of the University community.

    Note: Any reprisal, or expressed or implied threat of reprisal, for making and pursuing a complaint under anyprocedure authorized by the University is deemed to be an oence against the University Code of Conduct.

    The University Code of Conduct

  • 7/22/2019 Computing Orientation Manual 2013

    32/57

    Active since 1898, the Non-Academic Discipline (NAD) system is a long standing tradition here atQueens University. Students can be subject to NAD if they violate the University Code of Conduct.

    NAD is complaint driven, peer-administered, non-adversarial, and based on restorative justice.The process begins when an individual (the complainant) makes a complaint about a Queens student(the respondent). The complaint, which must be based on a violation of the Code of Conduct, is submit-ted to the Commission of Internal Aairs and then passed to the Judicial Aairs Oce (JAO). The JAOinvestigates the complaint and then proposes appropriate sanctions to restore damages done. The JAOthen presents the complaint and investigation to the Judicial Commiee (JComm), who deliberates todetermine if the sanctions are appropriate and then makes a decision based on all relevant information.If the respondent chooses to appeal the JComm decision, the case is then brought before the UniversitySenate Appeals Board for nal ruling.To le a complaint please contact Kristen Olver at [email protected] and for more information pleasecontact Apollonia Karetos at [email protected]
