All students.
Note that since only four quizzes remain (28 points) but 2 tests and
2 projects remain (representing over 140 points), your current course
grades are over weighted and likely inflated by the quiz grades. The Excel project and test together
represent 80 points, or over ¼ of the course grade.
|
Check your grades.
You will need your student number, which was emailed to
you a few weeks ago.

Teaching
Philosophy

In the 21st century virtually
every field of endeavor requires some proficiency with computer applications.
College students must learn to use computer productivity tools to be
successful in their academic pursuits and in their careers. Your instructor believes
that learning software requires using software to do meaningful work. This
course stresses practical use of mainstream applications (the Microsoft
Office tools Word, Powerpoint and Excel) to produce quality original
documents and communications typically required in academic and business
situations. The instructor will strive to make this work interesting and
thought-provoking for the students. Only students who conscientiously
complete and submit satisfactory assignments that are solely the product of
their own original work will gain proficiency with the applications, and be
able to demonstrate that proficiency by passing quizzes, tests and the
course.
