The objective of this 6-8 week course is to expose students to as many of the fundamentals of Windows98, Internet and word processing as possible. The course focuses on identification of fundamental concepts. Hands-on classroom activities are limited, as students are required to observe the instructor and take notes while achieving specific tasks demonstrated. Students are expected to review the concepts taught on their own, or with a teaching assistant.
