Prerequisites
Because of the amount of material we cover in class, we do require
students to be comfortable using a mouse, opening
and saving files, and the general operations of computers. While
we will make every reasonable effort to help, students
with insufficient skills may be required to observe the class
lessons or do their best to keep up without slowing down
the rest of the class. We highly recommend working with the application
tutorial before coming to the course.
