[nabs-l] taking a introduction computer class

[Ashley Bramlett]

lea

I decided to take intro to computer concepts. Our instructor will lecture 
and cover computer terms and theory. She uses the book Computer technology.
Our text has 15 chapters and the four exams cover this material from 
lecture/book.

Did you work with the professor to learn the keyboard commands? I did not 
ask her if she used blackboard, but I don't think so.
What did the learning center do with you? Is that a center where you get 
tutoring help?

How can I follow her computer demonstrations? Just have her verbalize what 
she clicks on?
The class covers the office suite: Word, powerpoint, excell, access, and 
basic html.
Any more tips are welcome.
Ashley

Hey I am taking this class right now. My teacher talks about the book
in class and we do our work at home through black board. It is fill in
the blanck and multiple answers. We do have to do some things that
requier you to read the book and do what it tells you to and turn it
in. I get help from the learning center for this because their is
visual stuff but, there is not a lot of this. It is easy over all. Try
to talk with your teacher at the beginning of the semester.
