New or intending users of Microsoft Word who want to gain a good understanding of the software in a short space of time.
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.
