This class is designed to make sure you know how to use common software applications (word processing, spreadsheets, and presentation software) that are needed to succeed in college. Additional skills (terminology overview, webpage creation, email) will be discussed.

If you feel that you posses these skills, you may earn credit for this course by taking a competency examination. Please look here, and here for more details. It is important to note that if you wish to do this, it must be done before the drop period ends (Tuesday 9/8). There is a fee associated with credit by examination.

If you feel that you are an advanced computer user, but do not wish to take the credit by examination route, please feel free to contact me for alternative assignments. If you wish to do this, you must do so in the first two weeks of class.
