We will get a chance to dig our hooks into the operating system, seeing how to load it and configure it for our hardware, and how to make it more friendly, more our own experience. We don't need a computer to impress our friends, we need a computer to write documents, to figure the checkbook, and to have fun. We will explore word processing, spread sheets, and games. We will talk about some key points to remember when buying a computer, and especially some of the things to avoid. The homework will include an opinion essay on a computer topic.
Regular attendance is necessary to achieve course objectives.
The grade of Incomplete will not be assigned for one s.h. seminars. We will attempt to stay on schedule. We have a lot of information to cover in a short two days, so please try to be on time. The first half-hour of class will be introductions, review, and general question time. The last hour of each class will be dedicated to taking tests.
