 Course Introduction:

This course is a computer literacy class thus the name. What is computer literacy? Specifically, computer literacy is the ability to read and understand the current computer terminology in today’s computer driven society. The goal of this course is to teach students the terminology of computer technology so that he or she may speak intelligently on the subject.

 

Course Recommendations:

This course is deceivingly easy because there are no formal homework assignments given on daily basis. The reason for this is that every person learns terminology in his or her own unique way. Thus it is left to the student to spend the necessary time learning in the way that best suits him or her.

So how does a student achieve success in the class? First take time on a daily basis learning the concepts and terms covered in the lectures.
