Need Some Computing Survival Skills? CC-EMU Workshops Help Orient New Students

By Doug Simpson (dsimpson@darkwing.uoregon.edu)

If you're relatively new to the world of computing and want to bring yourself up to speed, the CC-EMU Microcomputing Lab's "Survival Skills" classes may be just what you're looking for.

This fall, the CC-EMU lab (22 EMU) is offering introductory computing workshops on using Windows 95 and Macintosh. These workshops will be held during the week before classes, and will be repeated the second week of fall term.

Among other survival basics, these courses provide instruction on

• getting a class account
• reading email
• formatting disks
• creating documents
• printing

Note that you'll need to bring your own blank diskette to class.

Here's the schedule for the first series of workshops:

Introduction to Windows 95

Thu  Sept 24        10 am - noon

(repeated) Fri  Sept 25       2 - 4 pm

Introduction to Macintosh

Thu  Sept 24      2 - 4 pm

(repeated) Fri  Sept 25       10 am - noon

Schedules for the second week of fall term will be posted in the lab. After the term begins, you may also call 346-1769 for schedule information.
