CPSC 150 - Computer Applications
Taught through the use of common applications, beginning with word processing, this course prepares students for future as well as present needs in computing literacy by reaching beyond examples to recognition of principles. Students gain a practical grasp of data formats, program behavior, using documentation, and the role of hardware. Communications (including World Wide Web), and cross- platform transference of data, feature prominently, in addition to traditional office applications such as spreadsheets and databases. Students attend lectures and work from web mounted lab material. Each student undertakes a personal project, which documents independent learning. May not be counted as a computer science by computer science majors.

My feedback: This course is time consuming but rewarding. Because I was initially computer illiterate, I found myself spending hours on the computer trying to figure out the lab and lecture assignments. I could not rely on the computer to learn because I became nauseous staring at the computer for more than 1 hour. Therefore, I printed all the labs and lectures and studied the materials that way. Although the course took lots of time I was happy to learn basic computer skills which are already helping me improve the quality of other assignments. I cannot stress the importance of attending labs and getting support from the lab tutors. They were an invaluable source of information and their support at key moments eliminated hours of lost time searching for answers.
