How to Use this Curriculum
The Student Guide is intended to be used in conjunction with an instructor
guiding a small group of students. Each student should have his or her
own workstation. The Student Guides were designed with the idea that
computer skills are learned best by immediately practicing what the
instructor explains and demonstrates.
Practices and Projects
At the end of each chapter, students complete one or more hands-on
exercises that reinforce the skills or topics presented. The topics and
exercises generally follow a building-block approach, where each
succeeding practice reinforces earlier topics. The instructor should work
individually with students to make sure that they all understand and
complete the practices.
Chapter Reviews Questions
The Chapter Review questions found at the end of chapters serve two
purposes. First, they provide a review and reinforcement of key points in
the chapter. Second, they offer topics for discussion in reviewing the
course material. They are designed as an open-book forum.
Command Summaries
A summarized list of the key commands that were taught in the chapter is
included at the end of each chapter. Encourage students to pull the page or
photocopy it for quick access when they get back to their office.
Managing Class Time
A suggested schedule for the class is presented in this document. The
instructor must carefully manage class time to complete all elements of the
course. Have your schedule for the day clearly in mind before you begin.
Be prepared for slow or fast classes and for the mixed-skill class where
students have varying levels of experience and aptitude.
