If you keep a personal planner, are never late for appointments, and often get put in charge of committee work you are a good candidate for this course. You cannot pass the on-line course without participating in the Web discussion board. Exact requirements will be spelled out in the syllabus. Those for whom driving in would be a hardship will need to make advance arrangements for having their exams proctored. The details will be worked out later.
Most people feel like novices about some aspect of technology.
I want you to be successful. You do not need to be an expert or even average, but you do need to be able to easily work with E-mail, an Internet browser and have some word processing skills such as copying and pasting. If you have found this page you probably have the technology skills to complete the course. There are other good books on these topics. Go to your bookstore and try looking up some question you have in the index of each book.
