The classroom is not intended for regular class meetings. It is intended only for use in special activities – such as in-class simulations for classes with 25 or fewer students. Faculty must sign up in advance to prevent double-booking of the room.

Step 1: Turn on LG TV's

On the bottom-center of all LG TV's there are power buttons that you will need to press to turn on the TV's.

Although there is a remote, it can cause issues with powering on/off the TV's and can make it difficult to start class.
