I. COURSE DESCRIPTION 

Word Processing is instruction in the various aspects of a word processing software package. Emphasis is on the use of text editing features to produce business documents. This textbook provides students with the opportunity to learn word processing for employment purposes or home use and to utilize a microcomputer as a word processor. 

II. RECOMMENDED BACKGROUND 

Prerequisite: 
none

Required Course Materials: 
• Plane Trigonometry 
By: Agapito Pino

Method of Instruction: 

Lecture notes, homework, assignments will include reading assignments as well as Hands-on lab assignments. Students will be monitored for activity via online communication methods, such as, on-line discussion groups, email, and chat rooms. 

Attendance: 

Attendance is necessary to pass this course. Attendance will be monitored daily. “A student absences equivalent to two weeks of instruction in a regular semester may be dropped by the instructor.” Please consult the Student’s Manual for details. Students with excessive absences will be automatically dropped from the course with notification. You will be required to keep pace with homework and other assignments. Email me regularly and keep me posted on your progress with the course.  

Homework and Computer Assignments:
