WEEKLY CLASS REPORT
House of Uhuru/7-17-2010


Opening Comments:
Loryn and Juliane substituted the class for Jeff and Peter.


Attendance:
Before class, 2 students showed up and informed us that they would not attend, but they changed their mind and showed up on time. In total, 8 students were attending the class.

INTRODUCTIONS OR OVERVIEW:
Loryn started the class with introducing herself, afterwards Juliane introduced herself. After reminding the students that their outlines are due the following tuesday, they asked questions about the outline and Loryn took the time to explain the purpose and structure of an outline. The students then seemed to understand it. She also pointed out that the outline should be in handwriting as it is not sure if the printers will work to print the outlines the students started to write in word pad.

1ST TOPIC COVERED:
After her introduction, Juliane reviewed the computer discovery terms 7-12 by pointing them out in the open computer model. The students said they understood everything and didn't have any questions.

2ND TOPIC COVERED:
Loryn then explained the second half of module one to the students. Step by step she covered every topic and explained some of them by drawing on the white board. The students didn't have any additional questions and understood everything.

ADDITIONAL TOPICS:
no additional topics were covered.

LAB TIME:
During lab time the students continued working on their outlines and several students asked for help. Once again the instructors reminded the students to make sure they also handwrite the outline as there is not a guaranty that the printers will work. Rickey still seemed to have some problems with his outline.
Those students not working on their outline were asked to do the suggested lab exercise for class 4 (creating, deleting and restoring a folder). Wayne seems to feel insecure using the computer.

FINAL NOTES:
Offer It was a good class without any problems.
