<SUBJECT ID="121-230" CODEUSED="121-230/330">
<TITLE>MICROCOMPUTER APPLICATIONS FOR ARTS STUDENTS</TITLE>
<POINTS>16.7 2nd and 3rd years.
<COORDINATOR>To be advised.
<PREREQUISITES>Completion of any two university subjects from budget departments of the Faculty of Arts.
<SEMESTER>First or Second semester
<CONTACT>Two 1-hour lectures and a 2-hour laboratory session a week.
<OBJECTIVES>To provide students with a basic understanding of personal computers and to develop a reasonable level of competence with specific standard computer applications.
<p>The subject has five goals:</p>
<ul>
<li>to achieve an understanding of personal computers (i. e. how they work, their strengths and weaknesses, and their uses);
<li>to provide a basis on which informed decisions can be made concerning the suitability of personal computers for particular projects and the types of software that should be used;
<li>to develop skills in the use of standard types of software including a word processor, a spreadsheet, a database management system, and the DOS operating system;
<li>to acquire skills in problem-solving through the use of specific types of software to solve realistic problems;
<li>to enhance newly acquired skills through exposure to some of the more powerful features of the subject software, other types of applications, or to a different type of personal computer system (the Apple Macintosh).
</ul>
<CONTENT>Computer literacy (word processing, spreadsheets, data base management).
<ASSESSMENT>Weekly computer assignments for thirteen weeks (100 per cent).
<NOTE>Students in Geography should note that, in addition to the units listed here, the Departments of Criminology, Political Science and Psychology offer third and fourth-year subjects about Social Science and Policy Research Methods. These would be very helpful to them within Geography and in employment.
