You will find that a lot of teachers put material on the Web, and you need to know that it shouldn't be blown off. That material may be just notes from a class, but it will definitely help you if, God forbid, you can't make it class. You may not know a thing about computers. Don't feel bad, because just the fact that you are able to read this column means you are more computer literate than a lot of people on this campus. But if you feel like you still don't know anything, there are many resources on campus to help you.

Additionally, just a basic computer science class would be a good way for you to learn about computers, where you'd do everything from learning how to use a computer to creating your own Web page. But even before you start digging into the wonderful world of computers and the Internet, there are a pile of things that you need to avoid doing with your computer. But that's a whole other column, so we'll touch on those Wednesday. Jake Ortman is the Online Editor at the Oregon Daily Emerald. This page will be updated with a new column Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
