Course Content Information
We will cover one chapter per week from the text book. Each class there will be assessments for the students to do and to submit to me via Studyplace. Every four chapters, there will be a performance evaluation which is a timed, open-book set of assessments that will be monitored by a parent. There will be two of these timed performance evaluations.
PowerPoint 2010 Certification
When the students finish PowerPoint, they will have used all of the skills necessary to take the official Microsoft Office Specilaist (MOS) exam in PowerPoint. The MOS exam is optional. For more information on certification exams, click here.

How Much Time Will You Spend Per Week in This Course?
This is the most popular question that I get. The honest answer is I don't have a clue. The reason is that all of you are different in the way that you learn. Some of you will need more time than others, and some will need less. But, if I really needed to put an amount of time to this, I would say you will spend 2 to 4 hours per week in this course outside of class.
