CDD Class Report Uhuru 2-23-10
WEEKLY CLASS REPORT
Uhuru House /02-23-2010
OPENING COMMENTS:
Class started at 7PM.
ATTENDANCE:
We had 12 students in attendance. Three students have been asked to leave the facility for personal reasons.
INTRODUCTIONS OR OVERVIEW:
Juan introduced himself and explained what he does and why he is a volunteer. Some students expressed interest in his military background.
1ST TOPIC COVERED:
Chris started out by briefly reviewing the first half of Module 1. He went over the desktop, Task Bar, icons, minimizing and maximizing windows, etc.
2ND TOPIC COVERED:
Chris then went over the outline and its purposes. He demonstrated a simple outline on the whiteboard by describing the steps to buy milk, with an introduction, body, and conclusion. This helped the students understand what is needed to complete an outline since many students were unsure. He also discussed possible topics for the papers.
3RD TOPIC COVERED:
Juan covered the next 6 Discovery Terms (video card, sound card, power supply, CD/DVD drive, modem, and monitor). The class took turns volunteering to read aloud the definitions. After a student read a definition, Juan led a short discussion about the item with examples.
ADDITIONAL TOPICS:
Chris also reminded the students that their outlines were due the following Tuesday. It was stressed that the paper itself was not due, just the outline. Juan also stressed the importance of writing the outline as opposed to typing it so that it could be edited outside of class.
LAB TIME:
Lab time was spent in Mavis Beacon and/or working on the outlines. Many students needed guidance on the subject of their paper. Others needed help in honing their outlines.
FINAL NOTES:
The students seem to be on track to finish their outlines by the due date.
