WEEKLY CLASS REPORT
Cri-Help / 02.16.10

Opening Comments:
Class began on time. Serg and Smriti introduced themselves to the class. We tried to get an idea of where the class stood with regard to their knowledge of computers. Students were divided into teams and groups and workbooks were handed out.


Attendance:
Based on the sheet provided to us by the CRI-HELP staff, one student (Enrique Silva) was not present. Richard Rojas was marked absent because he left class after the break. He said he was not feeling well and understood that he would be marked absent for this class. Markkis Sonier was marked absent cause he came in late after the break and would keep leaving the class in between lecture. Serg spoke to him about it and he said that he was not interested in attending the class because it was too basic for him. He said that he had spoken to his supervisor and his supervisor had agreed to let him drop the class.


1ST TOPIC COVERED:
An overview of the course was given. The structure of each class was explained. Students were explained the rules and expectations. Smriti spoke about the paper and presentation requirements for successful completion of the course

2ND TOPIC COVERED:
We went over the first six computer discovery terms and reviewed page viii (using the mouse) in the workbook


ADDITIONAL TOPICS COVERED
None

LAB TIME:
During lab time students were asked to demonstrate if they understood how to use the mouse and perform some very basic functions such as opening and closing applications etc. If they didn’t know how to perform these functions they were shown how to do it by an instructor.

FINAL NOTES:
Overall the class went smoothly. Most of the students seemed to be interested and eager to learn. They seemed to understand the rules and expectations.
