At the heart of the classroom is an enhanced podium consisting of a networked computer, document camera, laser disc player, and video recorder. This workstation allows the instructor to display audio-visuals on a large screen for purposes of illustration or discussion. The lab is located in room 225. The room is equipped with networked computers, group seating, laser printer, color printer, and scanner. The unique feature of this room is that it allows students to work either individually or as a member of a team.
Students gain hands-on experience using the latest software available.
Software includes word processing, spreadsheet, database, presentation, and course specific software. A new approach to learning introductory business concepts will be introduced by Professor Kevin Haverlock. The course will be taught using the Global View Introduction to Business Program. At the beginning of the course, students will form teams and start their own firm within the Global View simulation. Each firm will compete for sales with other firms created by students from colleges and universities around the world.
