I will be on campus most Thursday evenings for tutoring and assistance. Times to be announced in the class news.

Wait list students - 2 to 3 days before class begins I will send an email to the email address you gave to the admissions office with instructions for obtaining your add code. I will send email offers for add codes Typically I give out 2 or 3 add codes for each section. Students

Crashers - I do not accept crashers until all students from the wait list have had an opportunity to add the class. I recommend that you put yourself on the priority wait list if you want to get into the class.
About this class - This class is an introduction to Information Technology (IT) for business and related majors using Excel and Access. This class is articulated to the IDS 180 class at SDSU. This class is not a beginning computer class using Office applications and does not cover Word or PowerPoint.
Time commitment - Students taking this class during the summer can expect to spend 2 to 3 hours per day Monday - Friday or about 9 to 12 hours per week working on assignments. Some students may need less and some students may considerably more time to complete their work.
