| Course Description: |
This course is designed for students wishing to acquire word processing
knowledge for personal or professional use.
Topics includes formatting, printing, tabs, tables, newsletters,
mail merge, styles, desktop publishing, macros, web page creation, and
online forms. |
| Grading: |
Your
final grade will be determined based on the total points you earn on the quizzes, in-class assignments, take-home assignments, and
three exams.
- In-class assignments: This is the result of following
the tutorial in the book. I will walk you through the steps in
class.
These assignments will be done in class and are due before the
start of the following class. If you have to miss a class, you
must make up the work on your own and submit the files BEFORE
the start of the following class to receive credits.
- Take-home assignments:
One of the case problems after each tutorial will
be assigned as a take-home assignment which
will be finished outside of the class. You will be asked to create
Word files using the skills you have learnt in class. You will
need to figure out the steps on your own.
- Quizzes: A quiz will be given in class for each tutorial. Each quiz contains 20 multiple choice questions. All
in-class quizzes are closed book.
- Exams: There will be three exams, one after each
level. These exams contain projects similar to your take home
assignments.
In general, 91-100% guarantees
an A, 81-90.9% for B, 71-80.9% for C, 61-70.9% for D, and a
percentage below 61% is an F.
