10 Years After

Set The World Afire
This really burns me up. I have 9 hours of classes in Computer Science and yet I am required to take a class to learn how to use a word processor. From what I understand I'll be forced to use Microsoft Word as the word processor. Also, somewhat anachronous, the class requires me to use two "High-Density Disks."


Here's the course description from the Undergrad Catalog:

CSCI 1100.
Using Information Technology(2 credits) — Students will gain a working knowledge of word-processing, electronic communication, and on-line database searching and will learn the skills necessary to integrate electronic information from various sources. Students learn through both lecture and hands-on experience.

Also, Dr. Chenoweth has an evaluation of the UIT class online here. (Oddly enough, the PDF file lacks bookmarks, which would be useful for navigating through the 175 page document. If you use the University's google powered search engine, you can view it in HTML. Though even then it lacks hyper-links tot he various chapters and Appendixes. However, that's a digression I suppose.)
