            Welcome to Computer Applications for Business.  This course will introduce you to the fundamentals of information technology, with an emphasis on business applications.  The course examines computer hardware and software, networking technology concepts, and gives you hands-on experience with applications in presentation software, electronic spreadsheet, webpage design, and programming applications using JavaScript. No prior experience in using a computer is needed--this course is intended for beginners. 

            Computer Applications for Business (01:198:170) meets for three fifty-five minute periods a week, two lectures and one recitation.  The lectures are presented by your instructor.   A teaching assistant (TA) will meet with you during recitation.   New material is presented in lecture.  Recitations are used to review class material; return and review assignments and exams; and answer questions related to lecture, software assignments, programming, etc.  Questions are always welcome in lecture, but many students find it more comfortable to ask questions in a small group setting like recitation.  Recitations meet in the computer labs for the entire semester.  The location of the lab will be announced in lecture and recitation and posted to the class website.  You are expected to attend lecture and recitation.
             

            Computer Applications for Business requires a considerable amount of computer work, which you must complete on your own time.  All assignments are hands-on.  As a general rule, you should expect to complete one assignment each week throughout the semester and schedule four to six hours per week in the computer lab.  If you prefer to complete your assignments using your own computer, speak with your instructor to be sure you have the correct software. This course will use Sakai, an online class management tool
