Description and Motivation
Because personal computers are ubiquitous, it behooves all of us to
increase our knowledge of how to accomplish work effectively and efficiently
using them. Although most students come to this course with some computer
experience, it is the purpose of this course to augment that knowledge base
with information relating to general computer usage, file management, webpage
conversion, integration techniques as well as elementary computer programming.
To accomplish all of this, we will study the well-known application of Microsoft Office 2007 learning the basics of Microsoft Windows, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access. We will also study some fundamental concepts related to computer science and the Internet.
