Lab Time
Approximately 2-8 hours per week of computer usage
may be necessary for students to complete assignments, depending on each
individual student’s progress during the class period. Since this course has no required class time,
you must be disciplined about making time to work on your assignments
Campus Resources
Microsoft
Office applications are installed on the computers in all of our labs (A20,
A22, A26). Open
lab hours will be posted outside each lab. Although the LRC has the Office
Suite loaded on their computers, security issues there hinder complete
usage. Therefore, it is recommended that
you do not use their computers to work your assignments.
Student Special Needs
Accommodations
Students
with disabilities should notify the instructor of any special needs.
