For most students, this course is a first introduction to using computers. The course is designed to help you become familiar with personal computers and their major applications; and to help you become familiar with the campus computing facilities including access to the Internet. It should provide a basis for using a computer as a tool in your studies, your career and your personal life. The course emphasizes student activity. This means that a significant portion of what you learn will come from actually working with a computer. A laboratory of IBM-PC microcomputers is available for your use during the term. You will be required to complete assignments and group projects during the term. You may use your own computer for the lab work if it is an IBM-PC or compatible computer with Windows 2000, and you purchase the software which will be used in class. If you run into problems, the lab can provide an environment where there is someone to answer questions, and other students to interact with.
