Course Catalog Description
This course will cover basic computer terminology and hands-on computer training in a popular
software suite. Students will gain experience using Windows, word processing, spreadsheets, the
Internet, and presentation software.
III. Course Overview
Basic computer concepts, Windows 7 and MS Office common features will be covered first in this
course. The common features of Windows 7 and MS Office used to manage files and folders will
be briefly discussed. The majority of the course will consist of hands-on training in Microsoft
Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2010.
IV. Course Rationale
Computers are everywhere -at home, at work, and at school. Many of the daily activities in our
lives depend on or involve information from a computer. Knowing how to productively and
efficiently use computers for professional and personal activities is becoming mandatory. This

Grade Dissemination
All course assignments, quizzes, and tests will be completed by accessing an Internet-based
assessment and training site called myitlab™. Access to the myitlab™ training site is available by
clicking on the myitlab™ link located on the course homepage. Graded assignments in Word,
Excel, and PowerPoint will be completed on the myitlab™ site and scores will be posted on the
portal as quickly as possible. Students should prepare for the individual Microsoft applications by
reading and completing the step-by-step activities within each project. They should then complete
the “grader homework projects and assessments” as indicated on the tentative course schedule.
The “course schedule” is found by clicking on a link listed under the Handouts portlet on the
course home page. Scores may be accessed at any time by using "myANC Gradebook" in the
portal. Please note that scores returned mid-semester are unofficial grades. If you need help
accessing myANC Gradebook, see the online tutorial or contact the ANC Helpdesk by email:
ANChelp@smail.anc.edu
XI. Course Policies: Grades
Grades:
Three (3) assessment exams will be administered during the semester. The exams for Word, Excel,
and PowerPoint will be taken by accessing the myitlab™ web site. The assessment exams measure
the student’s knowledge of the individual Microsoft© applications. There will be one
comprehensive final exam covering Word, Excel, and PowerPoint applications at the conclusion of
the semester. The final exam must be taken at the scheduled date and time.
Homework Assignments/Quizzes:
Students will be expected to complete selected chapter homework activities and the associated
content-based assessments. All homework assignments should be submitted by way of the
myitlab™ web site by the due date (refer to the tentative course schedule). It is the student’s
responsibility to complete all course requirements by the prescribed due dates. The grade for a
late homework assignment may be reduced by 10% of the total points possible for each day it is
late, up to one week. Homework assignments that are more than one week late are not
accepted.
Make-Up Test Policy:
There are no make-ups for in-class work or unannounced quizzes. All myitlab quizzes and the
three units exams and the final must be taken on the scheduled date. The student may call the
instructor’s phone and leave a voice message or email her if he/she knows of a conflict with any of
the scheduled test dates. Failure to notify the instructor in advance forfeits the student’s
opportunity to take advantage of this make-up policy. Third party documentation of the reason for
missing a scheduled exam may be required. The instructor reserves the right to reject the source
of the documentation. A make-up exam, which may be different than the original exam, must be
taken during the instructor’s office hours and within one week of the missed exam.
Page 4 of 17
* Note: This schedule is subject to revision.
Extra Credit Policy:
There are two ways to add extra points to your work. There are a total of 10 study guides on the
myANC portal and 10 sets of questions at the end of the chapter that cover Common Features,
Word 1, 2, and 3; Excel 1, 2, and 3; and PowerPoint 1, 2, and 3. I will add 1 point to your
homework grade for each set of questions answered—these must be typed and submitted
through email and 1 point for every set of study guides submitted and emailed to me. I will not ask
for the questions or study guides; it is your responsibility to submit them to me. Therefore if you
answer all 20 sets of questions and study guides, you will add 20 points to the total points of the
homework grades, which may possibly raise your score.
Grades of “Incomplete”:
The current College policy concerning incomplete grades will be followed in this course.
Incomplete grades are given only in situations where unexpected emergencies prevent a student
from completing the course and the remaining work can be completed the next semester. Your
instructor is the final authority on whether you qualify for an incomplete. Incomplete work must
be finished by mid-term of the subsequent semester or the “I” will automatically be recorded as
an “F” on your transcript.
Withdrawal from Course:
Students who choose not to complete the course are responsible for officially withdrawing from
the class. Failure to officially drop the course will result in an “F.” The last day to drop a course for
the Fall 2012 term and receive a “W” (withdraw) is Tuesday, November 20, 2012.
Keys to Success in this Course:
 Complete chapter homework assignments and read text thoroughly.
 Plan your time wisely so that assignments are completed by the due date.
 Expect to spend about two hours working on assignments outside of class for every hour spent
in class.
 Email the instructor concerning any class material or course requirements that you do not
understand. It is imperative that communication lines are always open.
XII. Course Policies: Technology and Media
Email: Arkansas Northeastern College has partnered with Google to host email addresses for ANC
students. myANC mail accounts are created for each student enrolled in the current semester and

Internet:
This course has a web component on myANC. myANC is Arkansas Northeastern College’s web
portal and Learning Management System (LMS). myANC is an online web tool that allows faculty
and students to collaborate and communicate in a variety of ways. Your Campus Connect account
is also part of this system. myANC will be used for announcements, online quizzes, and for
uploading course assignments. Student grades will also be available in the online gradebook. A
personal UserID and password is required to access most of the portal. Your UserID is your
StudentID and your password is the last four digits of your social security number. If the last four
digits of your social security number begin with zero, drop the zero and use the last three digits.
myANC can be found at http://myanc.anc.edu or it may be accessed using the link on our
homepage, www.anc.edu. Help for new users is available through the myANC Tutor tab found on
myANC or by emailing ANCHelp@smail.anc.edu.
myitlab will also be used in this course. myitlab, which can be accessed at www.myitlab.com, is
online simulation software that corresponds with the student textbook. An access code must be
purchased in the bookstore.
Internet Explorer is the preferred browser for ANC's portal (http://myanc.anc.edu).
Laptop Usage:
All students have access to computers in class so the use of students’ personal laptops in class is
not permitted.
Classroom Devices:
This course is primarily a hands-on course, but if students want to use tape recorders in class to
record lectures, discussions, and comments, the use of tape recorders is permitted. Other
classroom devices, such as calculators are not needed.
Computer Labs:
In addition to general-purpose classrooms, a number of computer laboratories are provided for
instructional and student use. These networked laboratories are state-of-the-art and fully
equipped with computers, printers, Internet connections and the latest software. The labs are
open to students enrolled in one or more credit hours at the College.
Students using classroom, computer laboratory, or any ANC-furnished PC must adhere to the
policies and information set forth in “Documents to Read” near the bottom of the page at
http://www.anc.edu/computer_labs/index.htm . In addition NO FOOD OR DRINK will be permitted
in the Computer Labs. Use of ANC computers may be monitored at anytime.
Technology Support:
A lab assistant is generally present in the computer lab in B202 for assistance in using the College
computers. These assistants cannot help you with course assignments; specific questions
regarding the technology requirements for each course should be directed to the instructor of the
course. Problems with myANC or College email accounts should be addressed by email to
ANCHelp@smail.anc.edu.
XIII. Course Policies: Student Expectations
Disability Access:
Arkansas Northeastern College is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for all
persons with disabilities. This First Day Handout is available in alternate formats upon request.
Page 6 of 17
* Note: This schedule is subject to revision.
Students with disabilities who need accommodations in this course must contact the instructor at
the beginning of the semester to discuss needed accommodations. No accommodations will be
provided until the student has met with the instructor to request accommodations. Students who
need accommodations must be registered with Johnny Moore in Statehouse Hall, 762-3180.
Attendance Policy:
It is to your advantage to be in attendance, and on time, for every class and to allocate
appropriate study time each day to insure success in this course. If you must be absent because of
illness or an emergency, please refer to the assignment schedule or contact the instructor or a
classmate to find out what you missed. Please remember that absences can adversely affect your
grade and regular attendance is a proven benefit to learning.
As a courtesy, anyone needing to leave class early should inform the Instructor. Unless authorized
by school policy, no one (no children, friends, other students, etc.) may be in the classroom except
registered students in this class.
Professionalism Policy:
Cell phones, iPods, etc. must be silenced and put away during all classroom and lab activities.
Students who do not heed this rule will be asked to leave the classroom/lab immediately so as to
not disrupt the learning environment. Please complete homework assignments and readings
before class. Plan your time wisely. Expect to spend about two hours working on assignments
outside of class for every hour spent in class. Ask questions about any class material that you do
not understand. Be attentive during class. Please arrive on time for all class meetings. Students
who habitually disturb the class by talking, arriving late, etc., may suffer a reduction in their final
class grade.
Academic Integrity Policy:
Academic dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. Students are expected to do their own
work. Plagiarism, using the words of others without express permission or proper citation, will not
be tolerated. Any cheating (giving or receiving) or other dishonest activity will, at a minimum,
result in a zero on that test or assignment and may be referred, at the discretion of the instructor,
to the Department Chair and/or Vice President of Instruction for further action. If you are
uncertain as to what constitutes academic dishonesty, please consult the Academic Integrity
Policy for further details. (http://www.anc.edu/docs/Academic_Integrity_Policy.pdf)
No assistance of any kind may be given or received on any graded assignment, quiz, or exam for
this course. All quizzes and exams are closed book, “closed neighbor or other class member”, and
closed resource of any kind, other than the student’s knowledge, mind, and individual effort.
Unless otherwise specifically authorized, all web-based quizzes, exams, and the final must be
taken in the classroom during scheduled class time or scheduled final exam time. Violation of this
provision shall constitute cheating, which will result in an undroppable grade of zero for such
violation, and will probably result in a course grade of academic F for cheating. Unless otherwise
specifically authorized, the only Internet Explorer tab open during any graded quiz, test, exam, or
final, must be the Home | Portal for that particular graded quiz, test, exam, or final. Multiple logins to the Home | Portal or accessing any information from the Internet or any other resource
during such time shall be classified as cheating, resulting in a grade of zero for that occasion or,
more likely, an academic F for cheating course grade. Opening, or having open, any other
computer application shall also constitute cheating, which will probably result in an academic F
course grade. Cheating is a zero-tolerance policy with the Instructor of this course. In addition to
the above, Financial Aid and the Director of the Business and Technical Division will also be
Page 7 of 17
* Note: This schedule is subject to revision.
notified of cheating. No advance notice to the student(s) is required and will not be given. The first
indication will most likely be posting of a final course grade of academic F. Disciplinary action,
including expulsion for cheating, may be recommended.
For purposes of this course, cheating additionally includes, but is not limited to, the willful giving
or receiving of information in an unauthorized manner during any graded assignment, quiz, or
exam, illicitly obtaining examination questions in advance, copying computer or Internet files or
test questions or answers, using someone else’s work for the assignments as if it were one’s own,
or any other dishonest means of attempting to fulfill the requirements of this course. It further
includes, but is not limited to, intentionally aiding or attempting to aid another in an act of
scholastic dishonesty, including but not limited to, providing a paper or project to another
student; providing an inappropriate level of assistance; communicating answers to a classmate
during an examination; removing tests or answer sheets from a test site, and allowing a classmate
to copy answers.
Quizzes, exams, and the final exam start promptly at the time for the start of class. No study or
use of any other material is permitted upon entering the classroom for such quiz, exam, or final
exam. All texts, notes, or material of any kind must be stored on the floor, out-of-sight, and any
electronic devices must be stowed. Except for religious reasons, all caps and head coverings shall
be removed and stored out-of-sight during quizzes and exams. Only correct answers to quiz or
exam questions are acceptable, irrespective of any mistakes in the text.
