Short Courses
All
ACS Short Courses for the 1998 spring semester have been
completed. The summer schedule will be published some
time in May. We are, however, offering a series of
courses through the Human Resources Department that may
be of interest to the campus community. Because these
courses are offered in the Eagle Student Services Center
(ESSC) Lab, UNT students can
also attend the classes. To register for a class, contact
Human Resources Training
& Development division (940-565-4246). The courses
offered are as follows:
Computers - Back to the
Basics. This course is designed to help
you through the maze of terminology about
computer hardware and software. The instructor
will guide you on a tour of the inside of a
computer to see how all the parts fit together,
and discuss the different add-on components that
can be so confusing when reading ads. Software
will also be discussed, such as word processing,
the most common programs being used, etc., and a
quick tour of Windows 95 to whet the appetite for
the next class. This 2 hour class should make you
feel a little more at ease with your computer.
