COMPUTER APPLICATIONS
Course Syllabus
Welcome to ADVANCED COMPUTER
APPLICATIONS! This course is
designed to extend your basic knowledge of the following Microsoft Office
programs:
This course builds upon the fundamental concepts covered in Computer
Applications and encourages students to work independently following class
demonstrations and discussions.
Students also apply problem-solving skills and creativity while completing
the assignments.
GENERAL EXPECTATIONS:
1. Students should be in the
door and ready to begin class when the bell rings. After-school detention is assigned after two “lates” to class.
2. Every document that is
sent to a printer should have the student’s
name and page/problem # TYPED somewhere on that document.
3. All work must be saved
to your network folder!
4. All assignments are to be
turned in as they are completed.
Any assignment that is more than one page in length should be stapled
together.
5. Any suspicion of copying
will result in a zero for that particular assignment belonging to each
student involved.
6. **I realize that everyone
completes work at a different pace.
Most students have adequate class time to complete assignments. However, sometimes it may be necessary for a
student to work during a study hall or after school to complete work. I will announce when the “final” due date is
for assignments. NO late assignments
will be accepted after announced “final” due date.
7. It is the student’s
responsibility to make up computer assignments, tests, and/or homework missed
due to absence from school. The
computer lab is open all eight periods of the day as well as most days after
school until 3:30 p.m. Makeup work should
be completed within one week.
8. Push in chairs when you leave the room. Do not leave stray items at your workstation.
9. Use care when handling
the books.
10.
Restart
the computer at the end of the class.
11. Problems are worth 5 to 30
points depending on complexity.
12.
Points
are deducted for each direction/step not completed correctly. (varies)
13.
**One
point is deducted for each typographical error. Proofread carefully! Attention to detail is important.
14.
A = 93-100% B = 85-92% C = 77-84% D = 69-76%
In
the event of a fire drill, exit the room following the teacher’s

quietly and quickly!
