Computer applications: a service course

ABSTRACT

A paperless computer applications course, which is driven by an online syllabus is described. Students demo their work on the computer rather than hand in paper assignments. Several advanced topics are included to challenge the students and downloads are provided to minimize the amount of student busywork. The use of weekly lecture and assignment downloads allow instructors to teach sections with twenty-five students with no graduate student or clerical support.
