Computer Concepts-7th Edition
Course Technology New Perspectives-Parsons & Oja
Course Description:
This course acquaints the student with basic
computer skills required in today’s society.
This course covers basic topics of using a computer: Windows, Internet, Microsoft Word, Excel,
Access & PowerPoint.
Course Objectives:
A successful student will be able to log onto a
computer, save & open documents, use e-mail, browse the World Wide Web,
have familiarity with the standard Windows interface & learn basic Office
XP components. The student will learn concepts
& terminology associated with the modern computer.
Attendance:
It
is the responsibility of the student to attend each class and to be on time.
You
will log on your attendance every day that you are in class at the above web
site address.
If
the student is absent it is the responsibility of the student to get any missed
classroom information and material.
You get to be absent 2
class periods. Each additional period missed
after the second will result in the loss of ½ a letter grade off your final grade.
Dropping:
The student is completely and totally responsible
for dropping the class should they so desire. On the average 2-3 students per
class fail because they simply stop showing up. Please, if you have something
happen or no longer wish to be in this class then go drop the class. An
"F" will follow you for the rest of your school career. If you miss more than 2 consecutive class
periods Student Services will be notified.
Cheating/Plagiarism:
Anyone caught cheating (including plagiarizing) will
be subject to any or all of the following:
1) A zero for the work
involved.
2) An immediate "F"
in the course.
3) One of the two above plus
referral to college authorities for additional disciplinary action up to and
including expulsion.
4) You cannot give your work to others! This
includes all assigned work.
The Computer Lab Rules and Regulations
Food & drinks are allowed in the lab, but they
must be placed on shelf by the door.
Clean up after yourself. Push your chairs in. Put
extra printouts in the recycle bin.
These labs are for class work and study not for fun.
Anyone being excessively noisy or using computers for non-class purposes will
be asked to leave.
Subject matter of a disagreeable nature cannot be
accessed through the NWACC labs. The lab monitor gets to decide what is
disagreeable. If there is a dispute over materials you must stop viewing them
and then get your instructor to give the lab monitor an OK for you to be
viewing the material.
Anyone letting another person log on using their
Login-ID and Password will lose their account. This generally results in the
student receiving an F since they can no longer do their work.
The lab monitor is the final word. Obey what they
say. If you have a problem with it then complain to
your instructor.
Room 1226 is the general lab for use outside of
class; DO NOT use any of the other rooms.
Student Services
If you are a student with a disability, and if you
will be requiring accommodations, it is your responsibility to contact Student
Services. Student Services will recommend appropriate accommodations to your
director and me.
Your director and I will identify for you which
accommodations will be arranged.
