UC 106 -Basic Academic Computing Skills
UC 106, a 1-credit hour course, helps first-year students learn to easily use computers as a powerful tool to help them be more productive students. UC 106 will teach basic computer skills that are often needed for other Ohio University course assignments. This is a fairly easy course that is ideal for the computer novice.
UC 106 will NOT deal with technical issues like knowing the difference between a Pentium 4 and a G5 processor.
Topics covered in this 1-credit hour course include:
- Creating your own video and burning it onto a CD
- Internet skills including evaluating web pages and security
- Importing and editing photos
- Creating your own web page with a movie file
- Using Microsoft Word
- Using Microsoft PowerPoint with multimedia files
- Using Microsoft Excel
- Using an Apple Macintosh computer
- Running Windows on a Macintosh
All assignments are to be completed in the AAC Learning Computer Lab where students may be guided through the assignments with one-on-one assistance from the instructor and trained lab assistants. Following one required meeting at the beginning of the quarter for an orientation to the course, students will complete assignments during the AAC Computer Learning Lab open hours of their choice. Assignments are fairly easy requiring 1-2 hours to complete each topic.
For a more in-depth computer course, CS 120 is recommended.

After attending one of the mandatory course orientation meetings, students complete each weekly exercise in the AAC Computer Learning Lab at a time that is convenient to them (within unit deadlines). There will be one-hour lab sessions outside the first week of orientation to the course. The lab sessions are not mandatory but students are encouraged to attend so that they can ask questions and also complete their work during the session. Each of the 10 assignments is designed to be easily completed in approximately 1-2 hours. This is a Pass/Fail course. Completion of all exercises in this course will result in a “CR” (pass) grade.
