You are taking advantage of the opportunity to work at home on your own schedule within an eight-week time block. This course assumes that you have basic computer knowledge, including file management, Internet and e-mail experience. Online classes are as demanding as on-campus classes, or even more demanding in some cases. Students are expected to meet weekly assignment deadlines. The most successful online students are those who are able to manage time and manage self--perhaps not too different from any other endeavor. I hope you will enjoy learning more about Excel 2007 - I will try to assure that you find the class, interesting, challenging, interactive and fun!
