Description:

CIS 105 (Formerly IS 100) - Introduction to Computer Applications This course provides an introduction to business computer applications. Students receive hands-on practice in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) software. In addition, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides are introduced so students become familiar with file sharing options, which can enhance group work and instructor-student interactions. Example projects include Word announcements, an APA formatted sample research paper, resume and cover letter. Excel workbooks use formulas, functions, charts, absolute cell references, and formatting. PowerPoint slide shows include bulleted lists, themes, clip art, and slide transitions. Students must achieve a prescribed level of proficiency in keyboarding. Extensive work on the student's own computer or in the college's computer labs is required. Students who have workplace or previous academic experience using MS Office are encouraged to enroll in CIS115 instead of CIS105. (3 Credits).
