Homework Assignment

My preconceived notions of the class were that we would be exploring issues data systems specific to human services, what ever that meant. I did not however think that we would have covered the topics we did. That being said I have taken away information and skills I didn't have before attending class.Having classmate that were at verious levels of computer literacy was also helpful. Interacting with classmates allowed me to pay closer attention to the proper way of performing certain task. I have, for the most part been self taught, through trial and error. Once I learned that the computer would only do what I told it to I was free to explore. Let's not forget about the end user's best friend the "undo" button.In conclusion, I don't feel like the class was a waste of time. Class actually put my knowledge of basic computer skills to test, which again was good for me. There were however moments when your instruction got off track and therefore becoming distracting. I am also finding the text book to be a valuable resource. I have used the information already in practicle application at work. All in all its been an ok experience.Ted Dawson
