List any other information students need to know about
this class:
You must
have a dedicated computer system to load the required
keyboarding software. A public machine (i.e. library
computer) will not work for this course. However, you
can use the software in the OIS Lab on the Rock Springs
campus or the Green River Center Computer Lab. If you
are near one of our Outreach Sites, please check that
site to see if they have the software loaded in their
Lab.
There
will be deadlines for assignments and tests. Your
instructor will provide you with a schedule of
assignments, tests, and due dates to help you plan your
time accordingly. Because this is an online course, you
MUST be self-motivated and able to work on your own to
meet deadlines. Good reading comprehension and problem
solving skills will help you be successful in this
course. |
