Understand the major components of a computer system. Use current word processing software to develop and print a research paper. Use current telecommunication software, such as web browser, to research external information sources, assemble an information document, and present the document to others over a telecommunications link. Use current web design software to create and publish a web document. Given a relational database of at least three tables, create the relationship among the tables and develop at least two queries representing typical user views of data in multiple tables.
Attendance is recorded and reported.
However, attendance does not add points to the grade. Students should be aware that research shows a strong correlation between attendance and final grade in most courses. Absence will not be considered an excuse for submitting assignments late and a penalty may be assessed against the grade. Lack of attendance will not automatically drop or withdraw a student from class. Grades are determined by the percentage of points possible earned for completed work.
