Welcome to CS12. Check back at this website over the course of the semester for additional information.

The required book for this course is:
The Exploring Series, by Prentice Hall - Microsoft Office 2003, Volume 1.

Here is a link to the book on Amazon. And another. And another.

The Queens College Book Store should be open today. They will be selling packets for $140.

We will cover Operating Systems, the Microsoft Office package, and Internet technologies.

The first assignment is to apply for an account in order to be able to log on to the computers in the lab. This time, I logged into the computers for you. Go to this website (right click to open in a new window):

https://cams.qc.cuny.edu/login.aspx

Click on "I am a first time user and do not have an account."

You will need to fill in your College ID, your Pin #, and your Billing Zip Code.

College ID is your Social Security Number, not the number on your photo ID.
Pin #, if you have not changed it, is your birthdate in the format mmddyy.

If you have questions, arrange to meet with me. Office hours will be after the lab.

Also, please fill out this survey, either in class or when you get home.
