Welcome to the ESL Micro Business Applications class. This class is meant for those students who want to get a clerical type of job someday. In this course we will focus on improving your computer skills using Microsoft Office Suite: Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint. After completing this course, you should be able to do the following with:
WORD:
1. Write paragraphs using memo and business letter format
2. Use edit features to delete, insert, move and copy text.
3. Use format features to change the appearance of documents.
4. Create and work with tables.
5. Use mail merge, address envelopes and make labels.
EXCEL:
1. Organize worksheets (spreadsheets) and enter data.
2. Format data and cells.
3. Enter and use formulas to do calculations.
4. Create charts
ACCESS:
1. Create a database and enter data.
2. Edit records.
3. Retrieve records and data.
4. Perform queries
5. Display information in report form
PowerPoint:

2. Create a brochure.
In addition to the above, you are responsible for taking periodic tests on vocabulary and application skills. You are also responsible for turning in homework assignments. I will keep a record of your work. If you do not complete the assignments (production tasks), you will not pass the class and will not be eligible for a certificate at the end of the program. Therefore, it is very important that you do all of the assigned work.
Please try to limit absences. Schedule doctor appointments, etc. for the afternoon. Please come to class on time. Use the bathroom or make telephone calls before or after class.
Absolutely no eating or drinking in class—not even water!
NO CELL PHONES, PLEASE! Turn them off!
Bring a USB storage device with you every day!
