New and recent users of Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 who want to expand and consolidate their knowledge of the application.
Because of the amount of material we cover in class, we do require students to be comfortable using a mouse, opening and saving files, and the general operations of computers. While we will make every reasonable effort to help, students with insufficient skills may be required to undertake a IT skills course as to not slow down the rest of the class.
