1. What was the average score you calculated for the lab? What does this number mean in terms of ergonomically correct workplace?
a. The average score we calculated for the lab was approximately 6.9/10, and what this number means in terms of an ergonomically correct workplace is that the room is not very ergonomically correct. This marking scheme is similar to that of a test or assignment, in which 69%, despite it being a passing grade, has a lot more room for improvement.
2. Describe the overall work environment of the computer lab. Provide a rating # (from part A) and be specific when you describe each of the following sub-headings.

Everyone could quiet down when working on independent assignments, and work together to keep the noise level down. In addition, better mice and keyboards could be afforded, minimizing the sound of clicking
4. Describe the actions students in the computer lab could do to reduce their usage of electricity. Also, explain how the school can dispose toner cartridges in an eco-friendly way.
a. There are many ways to reduce the usage of electricity, especially with all the unnecessary technology we consider as essential. The first is the easiest to do, yet hardest to control; putting away your phone. By putting the phone on airplane mode and sleep mode, battery life is maximized during the class. Another option we as students could do is turn off the monitors when we leave the class, which consumes a lot of energy if left on overnight.
b. The school can collect toner cartridges in a box, returning them to where they came from (the company) at the end of the year. If the company we wish to send them to do not dispose of the cartridges in an ecofriendly way, the school can sell them online for a certain price. This will ensure that at least some of it will be recycled, or the person buying the cartridge will have bought it for no
