The practice problems in this section are meant as a supplement
for students who have some background in computer software,
mainly: word processing, presentations, spreadsheet, Internet,
e-mail, and operating systems. Courses are available for those
who are not computer literate.
Books
and Guides
Books
on the various software applications are available in the WSU
Bookstore or most retail bookstores. There are Excel,
PowerPoint, Presentations, Word, WordPerfect, and Windows guides
available in the WSU bookstore. They are inexpensive and a
good help guide for those who need to brush up on the basics.
If
you don't have a book, we suggest that you buy one that covers
the current Microsoft Suite or Corel Suite. The Microsoft Suite is
taught in the TBE Department.
SoftWare
The TBE department currently uses the
Microsoft
and Corel software for testing: Excel 2007 or Quattro Pro
X3, Word 2007 or WordPerfect X3, PowerPoint 2007 or
Presentations X3, Wildcat Mail
(e-mail), Windows 2003, and Internet Explorer.
Look at the
competencies page to see what
each exam covers.
How Many Times Can I Take
Each Exam?
You have three chances to take
each exam; the first attempt and two retakes. If you do not pass the
exam, pay the cashier $5, and bring the receipt with you to take the second
or third test. The cashier is located on the second floor of the
student services building. Be sure to check your score on
VISTA to see if you have passed the
exam.
Where Are Exams Given?
Exams are given in room 409 of Building No
4 during regular scheduled
testing hours.
See the "Schedule an Exam"
page for
links to day and time exams are offered. If you don't know where
Building 4 is click on the MAP link to view a
MAP of WSU.
Where Do I Find My Grades?
Grades are recorded on the online student
grading and class system (Online Blackboard Learning System) within seven
school days from the date you took the exam. It is
located by typing
http://online.weber.edu at the URL. Type your username and password. At the next screen
choose the class, then choose the grades icon on the lower left
side of your screen.
What Grade is Required to Pass the Tests?
Seventy (70%) percent or higher is the
grade requirement for the exams. You will receive a grade
in WebCT but your transcripts will show credit or no credit.
Your test grade will not affect your GPA.
STOP:
Are you registered for the tests? You must register for
the exams the same as any other class at WSU. Register
during your regular registration time.
Note:
Students must look on WebCT for instructions or either contact instructor by e-mail at
clapine@weber.edu
or sign up for a time to take the exam
http://programs.weber.edu/cil/signup.htm
once registered for the course. Failure to do so constitutes
non-attendance, and may result in no credit unless the student
officially withdraws from the class.
