About MIS Lab…..
When the PC in our class is powered on and before it
boots in to windows, a screen comes up that will
allow you to chose which operating system you want
to load.
All you have to do is select the first choice: "Windows
XP professional". The second is "Windows XP
professional with Office 2003". Thus, if you do not
see Office 2007, you need to turn off the PC and
then, restart it.

My Perspective
What I have learned…..




Everyone is busy, busy, busy….
Most MIS minor students are NOT familiar with technical
MIS stuff (Java, VB, Access….).
So, I will try to provide a kind of customized education for
this class - such as doing a MS Access tutorials and
assignments at work or home if you are very confident with
MS access.
Talk to me if you have any problems or suggestions.
