Instructor: Eric Guy (eric.guy@rogers.com)
Date/Time: 2:00 – 4:00 pm Tuesday (4 weeks)
Starts: April 16, 2013
Maximum: 7 students
Course outline:
This four-week course will show participants the basics of creating slide shows using MS PowerPoint.
Participants should bring with them to class a laptop with a current version of PowerPoint.
Topics covered will include inserting images into PowerPoint, rearranging slides, editing images,
combining multiple images on one slide, adding captions, inserting text-based slides and title slides,
adding animations to the presentation, adding notes, including music as part of the presentation, and
running a slide show.
Students should have a basic knowledge of operating a computer; familiarity with MicroSoft Word and
the ability to save and locate files easily would be an asset.

Remember to Check Your E-Mail Before Each New Course Begins and During the Course. The
TSC Coordinator will e-mail you: a) before the course starts if the course is cancelled or delayed
unexpectedly or if there is a change in the time or venue of the course; b) during the course if the
instructor gives notice that he/she is ill or unavailable for one of the sessions. The coordinator will
attempt to contact those without e-mail by phone, so please make sure TSC has your correct phone
number and e-mail.
Storm Policy. No classes when schools are closed in Shediac..
Some people are very sensitive to perfumes and other scents. Please respect a scent free
environment by not using scented products. Thank you.
A note to seniors about class attendance and absenteeism….As you know, our instructors are all
volunteers, who work very hard at putting courses together. Your cooperation is appreciated in letting
them know if you are unable to attend any of the classes as most instructors plan weekly classes that are
appropriate to the number of registered students in the course.
If circumstances change between registration and the first class, or if you decide to withdraw after the
first or second class, please email tsccoordinator@nbnet.nb.ca or call 364-2780. Many courses have a
wait list and this could allow someone else to take your place. Sometimes, seniors have travel plans or
medical appointments made in advance. It would help instructors to know this at registration, if
possible, so that class material may be adjusted accordingly. Illness, as well as other unanticipated and
unavoidable conflicts can occur. If you are able, please let your instructor know as soon as possible if
you will miss a class. Thank you!
