Lecture: MWF 10:00 - 10:50, Peavy 236FOR 112 is an introductory course that teaches skills necessary for successful and efficient use of computing applications common in a student's academic career. The computing applications highlighted in this course include Microsoft Word (word processing), Microsoft Excel (data spreadsheet), Microsoft PowerPoint (presentation), Microsoft Access (database management), and Irfanview (basic image manipulation). Additionally, we familiarize students with how to use the University computer network and e-mail system, and offer many tips, shortcuts, and computing advice related to relevant technologies that the student is likely to encounter. Even someone already comfortable with some of these computing applications will learn something new.
Students with documented disabilities who may need accommodations, who have any emergency medical information the instructor should be aware of, or who need special arrangements in the event of evacuation, should make an appointment with the instructor as early as possible, and no later than the first week of the term. Class materials will be made available in accessible format upon request.
