Basic Computer Workshops

BSC professors expect their students to know how to use a computer to create papers and other written assignments. If you have not had an opportunity to use a computer, we can help you learn how to use these tools to make your college life easier.

We offer both group and individual sessions on the following topics:

Computer Basics for the Beginning Computer User - a guided tour of basic computer skills beginning with how to start and shut down a computer. We will go through the steps of opening programs, using the mouse, etc.

Email - designed for people who have not used email. Find out how to open mail sent to you and how to send email to others. You must have a BSC email account prior to asking for this assistance.

Beginning Internet - This workshop is designed to cut through the technical jargon and equip you with the information you need to get started on the Internet and how to do effective searches.

Using Microsoft Word - Microsoft Word is the word processing program installed on the computers in the BSC open computer labs. Learn how to create, edit, format and save documents.

Formatting a Document Using Microsoft Word - Most BSC faculty have preferences for how they want the documents you hand in to look. They will specify the margin lengths, font name and size, and where your name and page number should be located on the paper. This workshop is designed to help students make the changes required.

Feel free to stop by the Sykes Student Success Center at any time for assistance with any of these topics.

Call 224-5671 to schedule an individual appointment. Group sessions will be scheduled periodically during both fall and spring semester.
