Texts are not required for the course but those wishing more
detailed information may want to purchase a book on Chinese Word
for Windows 5.0, DOS, and a basic book on UNLX and the Internet.
At least three floppy disks (of either sizes) will be required
for classroom use. All instructional material will be available
in the computer classroom on the SCU network. For the downtown
campus, they will be located on f: research and on the main
campus, on f: package research. Students will be responsible for
downloading and reading all files in the RESEARCH directory and
subdirectories and familiarizing themselves with the computer
functions they introduce. For those who do not have computers at
home, computers are available on campus for extra practice
outside of regular classes. For those who feel they would like to
know more about Chinese Windows and Chinese Word for Windows 5.0,
books are available in Chinese from天龍and儒林Bookstores on重慶南路and
many other bookstores.
Grades will be based on examinations and homework assignments,
the latter counting more heavily. One research paper will be
required for the year. For details see the file PAPER.CW5.
No previous experience with computers is required. Instruction
will be provided on computer basics. Those who are familiar with
the basics of word processing will, however, be able to proceed
directly to more advanced techniques. One of the advantages of
the computer classroom is that we can do more than one thing at
the same time and allow different individuals to progress at
different paces.
All instructional material will be available on the SCU net. The introductory files are FORMAT.CW5, CHINESE.CW5, OUTLINE1.CW5, OUTLINE2.CW5, HANG-IND.CW5, and STYLES.CW5. All scheduled class time should be spent exclusively on material related to research. There are many other interesting functions of the computer and Windows applications to learn about but individuals must follow up interests in those areas outside of class. No game playing will be tolerated in class at any time.
