2012 Computer Class Schedules
ALC offers 2 FREE Computer Classes Starting in January: Beginning Computing and Intermediate Computing. Both Windows and Apple computer systems are covered.
The "Beginner's " class consists of four lessons. The first three lessons are repeated following the fourth lesson. This is to provide a "make-up" opportunity for those who missed any of the first lessons. The second course, "Intermediate Computing" consists of 8 lessons. A variety of subjects are covered, and are listed below. This course is designed for those who may have some computer experience, but don't classify themselves as expert.
There is no registration, no homework is required, all classes are open, just walk in and enjoy. Each class has two parts: lecture/demonstration; and, Q&A on any subject. The quality of answers depends on whether or not the Questions match the Instructor's stock of answers.
