INTRODUCTION
TO COMPUTERS
Introduction to Computers
is a one-semester lab-oriented course that meets
on all six days of the cycle. It is the goal of
the course to ensure that all students who complete
it are computer literate and are prepared to meet
the demands of a college prep curriculum which
is
rich in technological applications. Topics covered
in the course include introductory computer concepts,
file management, word processing, use of a spreadsheet,
network navigation, research strategies, making
use of electronic resources and authoring desktop
presentations. The course is required of all freshmen.
ADVANCED COMPUTER SCIENCE
This course is a full-year senior elective for
students who have an interest but not necessarily
a strong
background in computers. Advanced Computer Science
stresses a variety of applications including database,
computer-aided design, web design, networking,
and advanced Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel
techniques. In addition
students will explore other advanced topics based
on their interests and abilities. As with all
advanced courses, the department, in collaboration
with the administration, select students for this
course, based on objective data (especially GPA),
student profiles,
and the
best
interest
of the student.
