We had a special class today to do a bit of reading from the textbook and to allow for some computer time. At this particular level, we are not scheduled in a lab. Students complete most materials from their PCs at home. However, our oral presentations will be coming quickly and the use of MS PowerPoint is now mandatory.
Of course, all students have at least a basic familiarity with all Microsoft Office software, but their levels of proficiency differ. Being in the same lab allowed power users the chance to provide tips and useful techniques to classmates.
