Teaching Method

Outline:

Students will learn about computer software and basic knowledge of software and hardware, and acquire basic computer usage skills.

Style:

Following the classroom lectures, students will have a lab.

Notice:

Labs will make up a large proportion of the class, so students will be required on their own to make an effort by using their breaktime, etc. to catch up on their work. Students are also expected to think and act by themselves. Students will be required to acquire touch typing skills. All assignments must be submitted.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
