The use of computers and and important applications has become common knowledge and is correspondingly seen as a requirement in every degree program. Many students do, in fact, possess a passing knowledge, but still have difficulty in conceptualizing, organizing and entering contents into these same computers and applications. This leads to a disproportionately large investment in time and effort in the creation of contents, and in turn to results which cannot be used for the purpose for which they were writtten.

This course conveys in depth knowledge of scholastically relevant methods of working with Office Products and Computers in general, via theoretical introductory lectures and practical exercises on the THM's computers.
