Electives - Computer Courses are Necessary!


What an amazing world we live in! Computers have become an integral part of our every-day lives, both at home and at work. Indiana Wesleyan University has taken great strides to keep their computer courses, such as Software Tools (BIS225), in touch with that world.

IWU, realizing the importance for students of all ages to have a working knowledge of computer software, provides practical 3-hour computer courses both online and onsite. One course called "Software Tools" provides a detailed introduction to hardware and software tools with special emphasis on the Windows Operating System, word processing, spreadsheets, presentation graphics, and databases. Through guided practice, students in IWU's computer courses are taught practical applications of these programs for both personal and on-the-job use.

Whether you are working toward a degree or simply want to broaden your hands-on knowledge of Software Tools, computer courses will prove extremely profitable. The "virtual" classroom provided via the Internet is convenient for the busy professional who cannot afford additional time away from the office or home. Just five class sessions of Software Tools could make the biggest positive difference you have experienced for sometime.

Computer courses, like Software Tools, presents valuable instruction on the Windows Operating System, detailing the advantages of Microsoft Publisher. Also, with MS PowerPoint, Outlook, and Create-a-Calendar, you will be able to streamline your daily task, enhancing communication and planning.

Software Tools, like many other computer courses, introduces you to the wonderful world of word processing. It is designed to show you how to insert tables and charts, save and e-mail files, cut and paste documents, insert headers and footers, and scan objects and pictures. You will no longer have to rely on someone else to project a good office image for you; you will be able to create professional looking documents at the comfort of your own computer terminal.

Let Software Tools show you how to maximize the use of spreadsheets in making budgets, creating personnel lists and customized charts, as well as auditing documents.

Computer courses, like Software Tools, will help you produce great PowerPoint presentations, meeting presentations, web pages, and enhanced documents with effective clip art. A working knowledge of presentation graphics will be evident when you complete the wealth of information gained through Software Tools.
