Course Description and Syllabus Welcome to Presentation Software Applications. This course is designed to provide students with the opportunity to develop professional level skills in presentations software. The main program used will be Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, though students will be exposed to at least one other program as well. Students successfully completing this course will be eligible to take the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) PowerPoint 2010 Test. The basic course materials will be provided online through two different Cengage sites, as well as Quia.com. Students will work through lessons online, complete online worksheet activities to reinforce concepts and ideas, then complete teacher-provided exercises to practice their skills. At the end of each Cengage level, students will complete projects that requires all the skills they have learned so far, as well as online training and practice tests to prepare for the MOS test. Assignment information may be found on this website. Though many assignments can be completed online outside of school, most of the required work for this course should be done on the computers IN CLASS, and most work must be turned in electronically at school. It is therefore expected that students will be present in class and that class time will be used only for work related to the course. Some online homework assignments will also be required. Each student is expected to bring his/her Agenda book to class every day. All students are also required to use class time productively and to leave the workstation in proper order. A student who is absent from class, or who falls behind for any reason needs to sign up to attend seminar, or plan to use the computer lab after school or at lunch, to make up unfinished work. It is the student's responsibility to make arrangements to make up missing work. Students should be aware that it is very easy to fall behind, especially due to absences, and it is important that they make up missed computer time immediately upon their return.The course sequence is planned as follows:
