WEB PAGE: http://www.rtc.edu/instruction/Accounting/welcome_page.htm
OFFICE HOURS: Room H308 (7:30A-8:00A; 2:30P-3:00P)
OTHER MATERIALS: 2- 3.5" High Density Diskettes
OBJECTIVE: This is an introductory course in Computer Literacy and Word applications. Although no previous experience is required, proficient keyboarding and 10-key ability is useful. You are first presented with a quick review of the office Suite, Windows, and Internet Explorer. You will then use the Word programs to create powerful text documents such as letters, memos, faxes and flyers..
MAKEUP POLICY:
MISSING TIME: It is a student's responsibility to find out from other students what information or assignments were "missed" and if necessary to create a "catch up" plan. Missed time, for attendance purposes, cannot be made up. Attendance may be taken at anytime during the period. If you come in late or leave early, it is your responsibility to immediately follow up your attendance record on that day.
TIMELINESS: Being on time is important on the job and in this class. Not only is tardiness disruptive to the classroom, the skills and habits you develop now will directly affect your future employability. The two most commonly asked questions by potential employers concern attendance and attitude!
CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR: As much as possible, you will be treated as though you are an employee; therefore, our expectations are that you conduct yourself in a professional manner. Examples of inappropriate (unprofessional) and unacceptable behavior include: talking during presentations, tardiness, putting your head down on the desk, putting your feet up on tables, sleeping, working on non-class assignments, e-mailing, surfing the internet, and not being attentive.

The following calendar is an approximation of the progress (including assignment due dates and exam dates) I expect from this class. However, each class seems to have its own characteristics - some move more quickly than others. Therefore, the actual schedule may be adjusted based on the class progress. All assignments are due on Diskette (DO NOT PRINT).
