(3 credits)

45 lecture hours
Prerequisites: ENG 82 or RENG 92
Passing this course with a “C” or better fulfills the College’s Computer Literacy Requirement.
An introduction to the use of desktop, stand-alone computers, and computer terminals for nonprofessional users is provided. The theory of operation and the history of computers are studied to the degree needed to understand operational procedures encountered in the workplace. Emphasis is placed on the use of applications programs rather than the writing of new programs. Both user-friendly, menu-driven programs and the more elaborate spreadsheet, PowerPoint, database, and word processing programs are actually operated by the student. This course is designed to make the average citizen computer literate.
