IFS 104 Syllabus

Fall 2004 term

Course Description

From the North Central web page:

An introduction to the design, implementation, and use of spreadsheets. Emphasizes problem solving and hands-on computer experience using spreadsheet software. Repeats CSC 104. Prerequisite: High school algebra. Offered: Annually.

I'll emphasize their emphasis... this will be a very "hands-on computer experience."
