Computer Applications I
 

Instructors:   Michael Gambrell and Eva Papazickos

Brief Course Description:   This course is designed to be an introductory class in the concepts of information systems. Topics covered include: an introduction to personal computer applications software such as word processing, spreadsheets, presentations,  and graphics design.  Students will become familiar with using the Internet in a productive and efficient manner.  

Expectations: You are expected to follow the rules as outlined in the Gulliver Student Handbook, as well as adhere to Gulliver's Acceptable Use Policy for Computers. You are responsible for your computer station during the class period. Since Applications I is primarily self-paced, reading and concentration are essential in order to follow the guidelines contained in the classroom textbook that accompanies the class. Therefore a  workroom atmosphere is in effect for the computer labs at all times.
 
 Supplies:  All assignments must be saved on the student’s school-assigned network location.  Text books will always be in the classroom.

ALL WORK MUST BE PRINTED AND HANDED IN TO THE TEACHER—STUDENT’S NAME AND ASSIGNMENT NUMBER MUST APPEAR AT TOP OF PAGE.

Grading:   Exercises, worksheets, and projects are assigned throughout the semester. A grade of "A" is awarded upon satisfactory completion of each individual assignment. An assignment that is not completed satisfactorily will receive an "I", and students will have an opportunity to re-do that assignment. At the end of the semester, students receiving an "A" for every assignment will receive an "A" for the course. Otherwise, a grade of "Incomplete" will be given until every assignment given an "I" is re-done to the satisfaction of the instructor.
