56Also, how many laptops can be plugged in at a given time could be a concern. What happens when your ratio of dead batteries to outlets gets off?– David StarkeyCommented Mar 24, 2017 at 13:35

41@DavidStarkey This! A thousand times this! I once took a class where the professor was denied a computer lab, and we all had to use our laptops. The biggest problem was always outlets. I got into the habit of bringing a power strip and extension cord to all of my classes for this reason.– guenthmonstrCommented Mar 24, 2017 at 13:37

9As for the operating system problem, and/or different versions installed, this was another major problem with that same class. Many of the early classes of the term were bogged down by technical issues: trying to get the various software to work on students' various platforms.– guenthmonstrCommented Mar 24, 2017 at 13:40

2The update to the question shows that the lab has 108 seats for "around 90" students. The OP could leave a note on each of the 18 seats with the worst view warning of the need to see a screen.– Patricia ShanahanCommented Mar 24, 2017 at 16:27

3Screen sharing software may also be an option for allowing students to bring up the projector on their own machine.– jpmc26Commented Mar 24, 2017 at 19:39

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
