  1. Introduction to Computing Instructor: Yong-nian Tang Brookhaven National Laboratory Working on accelerator control 631-344-7022 (BNL Phone #) yntang@bnl.gov tangy@sunysuffolk.edu

  2. Text Book: Microsoft Office 2013 Illustrated by Beskeen et. al. Publisher: Course Technology How expensive is it? Introduction to Computing 2

  3. Do we need to buy the text book? It is recommended because we’ll do many excises in the book. Having the book will make your life much easier. However, you can survive (barely?) without the book. Introduction to Computing 3

  4. Supply: USB drives to save files and transfer data. Very cheap when they are on sale. About $0.50 to $1 per GB, or even less. Every one should have one or two. Introduction to Computing 4

  5. Course Web Pages: www2.sunysuffolk.edu/tangy Outline Announcements Slides Projects Data files for projects and exercises Answers to some exercises Attendance and project status Introduction to Computing 5

  6. Course Web Pages: www2.sunysuffolk.edu/tangy Almost everything is on internet Introduction to Computing 6

  7. Objective Introduction to computer concepts, Windows XP, network security and protection. Basic concepts and usage of Office 2010, Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint. In addition to the contents of the text book, some advanced topics will be introduced. Introduction to Computing 7

  8. Advanced (Misc.) Topics Sometimes the book contents are too simple as if we had never used computers. We’ll go through these fundamental topics quickly and discuss some practically useful topics (adv./misc. topics). The adv./misc. topics won’t appear in the exams. Introduction to Computing 8

  9. Attendance Policy Attending classes is very important Firm but flexible policy If you can not attend a class, call 344-7022 or email tangy@sunysuffolk.edu Attendance Grades: 10% goes to the final grade. However, more than 10 points will be deducted for many absences. Introduction to Computing 9

  10. Fail or Withdrawal One should go to registrar to formally withdraw from the class if quitting attending the class after some date. For example, one quits the class after the midterm exam. If you forget to formally withdraw, I usually assign W as your final grade if the College permits. However, if you need to get an F in order to get financial aid, please send me an email. If the College does not allow professors to assign W, I will assign F for lack of choices. Introduction to Computing 10

  11. Attendance Absence times vs. Point deduction Introduction to Computing 11

  12. Attendance Check your attendance every Sunday evening Inform the instructor any errors ASAP Also check the project status Introduction to Computing 12

  13. Grading Policy Specified in the outline In general, if one attends the classes, finishes lab work, exams and projects, one gets a relatively good grade. Do not worry about grades, to learn something is more important. Introduction to Computing 13

  14. Topics Part I (10% ?) Overview of computer hardware and software Operating system: GUI Manipulation of files Often-used short cuts Internet: security Introduction to software development Overview of Office 2010: GUI (Ribbon), backstage Introduction to Computing 14

  15. Topics Part II --- Word 2010 (30% ?) GUI (Ribbon) Browsing and selection Themes and styles Formatting: text, line, page, and document Tabs , sections and other breaks Tables, hyperlinks, clip arts and graphics Tricks and tips Advanced topics: TOC, index (if we have time) Introduction to Computing 15
