COURSE PRE-REQUISITES: Basic Computer Knowledge

COURSE OBJECTIVE:
The objectives of this course is to make the students to

1. Understand the basic computer harhardware and system requirements.

2. Make them to install Operating system and operate basic software utilities.
3. Familiar with the use of websites and access search engines to find information and
troubleshoot basic computer problems.
4. Realize the importance of basic technologies related to an off
office
ice environment.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The main objective of this course is to provide an overview of the basic functions of
personal computers and instructs students in how to use them. It is designed for persons who
have little or no experience with computers. Its purpose is to make students comfortable with
personal computers and to provid
provide the basic knowledge and skillss needed to perform the major
computer functions without assistance. These skills will be applied to the basics of applications
such as word processing, spreadsheets (tables of numbers), email and the internet.

MARKING SCHEME FOR THE PRACTICAL EXAMS

There will be two practical exams in each semester.

 Internal Practical Exam
 External Practical Exam

INTERNAL PRACTICAL EXAM

It is taken by the concerned lecturer of the batch.

Total Marks : 50
Division of 50 marks is as follows
1. Regularity : 10
a. Performing program in each turn of the lab
b. Attendance of the lab
c. File
2. Internal Model Quiz : 20
