graphics and ftp tools. Students will apply basic information
literacy skills of locating, evaluating and citing scholarly sources
when crafting a web site with a bibliography on an information
technology issue. Students will implement Word and Excel projects to
demonstrate proficiency with features such as table of contents,
page numbering, headers and footers, relative vs absolute
references, formulas, functions and charting. Students will find
numerical data to support a thesis, present a graph built in Excel
and discuss inferences from the data." - Introduction to Computer

The one thing I
learned that I found most precious from this course was that we
can always learn more, especially when it comes to technology. I
have come to love to learn more new things that my computer can do
and fascinates me every time I am enlightened of these functions.
I appreciate this course for introducing me into the world I would
have never gave another look to otherwise. Learn more at the "What I Learned" page.
