Here are important instructions that will help you be successful in this
onground or online course.
I will be teaching Microsoft Office 2010 and Windows 7 in this course. If you are planning to complete this course using your own computer and you have Windows Vista or Windows 8 instead of Windows 7, you can most likely get by with Windows Vista or Windows 8. It will differ from the instructions in your textbook but if you want to try to correlate the instructions with your system, that's up to you. The Windows portion of the course is only one chapter so you will have only one chapter of potential software differences. Your version of Windows will not be a factor in the remaining chapters of the textbook. You cannot complete the course with an older version of Microsoft Office such as Microsoft Office 2003 or Microsoft Office 2007 as there are significant changes between the versions. The required version is 2010. If you do not have Office 2010 installed on your computer, you may purchase it from this site: download Microsoft Office University 2010 site. When you go to Microsoft's site, you have a choice of just downloading the program to your computer or downloading it to your computer and having the program shipped to you on a CD so that you have a copy of it. There is a slightly higher cost for the CD. There is an option to choose which one of the two choices you prefer. With either option, the download will begin as soon as you enter your payment information, etc. Be sure to use your
In addition to Microsoft Office 2010, you will need the following to complete this course: the textbook listed on the syllabus; data files for the textbook; a SNAP Activation Code (discussed on a later page); high speed Internet connection with one of the following browsers:
I teach two different versions of this course. One is strictly online and the other is on campus. If you registered for the online version, you are not required to come to campus or an outreach site to complete this course provided you have the requirements listed above. All of the work can be completed from a remote site if you wish to do that. If you don’t have access to a computer or the required software, you may access a computer lab on campus or go to an outreach site near you provided the appropriate software is available on those computers. Computer labs on the Lewiston campus that are located in the Sam Glenn Complex (round building) include Room #226, Room #124, Room #215, and Room #218A (Learning Resource Center). The Learning Resource Center has student tutors that may be able to help you if you have questions. You’ll need to check the hours of availability for each of these locations as they change periodically. The Library computer lab also has computers available to you. You'll need your Student ID in order to access these campus computer labs.
