SYLLABUS

COURSE OVERVIEW: Welcome to College Keyboarding and Document Processing, a Associates Level course in the curriculum for the Associates Degree in Business Administration. I am pleased to instruct you in this course, which will be a core course for the remainder of your studies in the associates program.

This is a fundamental course. The primary focus of this course is to develop keyboarding proficiency through creating, processing, editing, composing, and proofreading various documents within Microsoft(r) Word 2000. Communication is the main focus of management and proper keyboarding skills and Document Processing are essential for this.

I know you will enjoy this course. As you progress through the course you will see it does lay down a solid foundation for the rest of the curriculum. It is my pleasure to have you in the course.

TIME FRAME: This is a five-semester hour course. This course is allotted 10 weeks of time. You must complete all of the requirements for the course successfully by the end of the 10-week period. The first day of week one will begin the day that you register for the course, or the day which you notify me that your textbooks have arrived and you are ready to begin your studies. Please be cognizant of the time frame. It is rare that extensions of time are permitted, unless you have good justification. Upon successful completion of this course, you will be awarded five semester hours of credit.
