The Northern Marianas College this month is introducing short-term computer literacy courses in efforts to better acquaint the community with latest computer applications and programs that would keep them at par with the new demands in the information age.
The college will be offering starting tomorrow a session on the basics of Excel, the Microsoft spreadsheet program, which would tackle the essentials in using worksheets, formulas for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and percentages and how to link data to Microsoft Word documents.
To further increase awareness on latest Microsoft programs essential for school projects and keeping business and personal records, NMC’s Community Programs Department is also set to hold classes on Microsoft Money-Balancing Accounts.
The program is aimed at the individual user and provides fast and easy entry of checking, savings, and investment account information.
Classes on how to get started in Internet stocks is also scheduled for mid-November, recommended for individuals with high interest in the wide world of the financial market.
Furthermore, the college will also be offering next week introduction courses to new PC users on Microsoft Word 98 including lessons on file management and using Windows Explorer and “My Computer.”
NMC will also demonstrate hands-on training using Corel WordPerfect 8, from simple to advanced level.
The series of community-friendly programs can be availed at very minimal fees only this month. For more information, contact Edith or Tricia at NMC. (MM)
