COURSE
DESCRIPTION |
|||
|
|
|||
|
Computer Basics is a five-week
course which meets four hours a week. The
entire time is spent working in the computer laboratory. The laboratory assignments are designed to
familiarize the student with using a personal computer. The student will have experience using an
operating system, e-mail, the Internet, and a word processor |
|||
|
|
|||
|
COURSE OBJECTIVES |
|||
|
|
|||
|
This computer literacy
course provides a basic introduction to the principles of computers and
information processing. Upon
successful completion of this course, the student will gain an understanding
of hardware and software concepts and how they are used in information
systems. The scope of this course
includes a historical background that traces the development of the modern
computer and the place of the computer in society. There is great emphasis on the operation
and terminology of computer systems. |
|||
|
|
|||
|
Objectives for the
student are given at the start of each chapter. These objectives will state what is
expected of the student and are designed in terms of student achievement
rather than teacher performance. These
objectives are almost entirely in the cognitive domain and rarely ask the
student to manipulate the material extensively or use the information to
predict new answers to a problem. |

|||
|
Examination
Policy: A student who misses an exam FOR ANY REASON will make up
the exam within one week of the date the student returns to class; the
MAXIMUM grade on a make-up exam is a 75. Exams and assignments not made up
within the specified time will be recorded as a 0. |
|||
|
|
|||
|
Homework
Policy: Late homework will be penalized 10%. Homework more than
1 week late will not be accepted. Students should feel free to exchange ideas
with each other, however all assignments are expected to be the student's
own work, and should in no way duplicate anyone else's. Students are not allowed to "work
together" on assignments. A student may not use or copy (by any means)
another's work (or portions of it) and represent it as his/her own. If you
need help on an assignment, contact your instructor. Suspected cheating on an
assignment, quiz, exam, or project will be handled through the Dean of
Student's Office. |
|||
|
|
|||
|
Attendance
policy: Students are
expected to attend all classes. It is the student's responsibility to speak
with the instructor about any work missed due to absence. The student will be allowed a reasonable
time to make up missed work. In most
cases this time will be one week from the date the student returns to
class. |
