Class,

That fire alarm sure HURT tonight.  But stuff happens.  So let’s move on.

Here’s our lesson from tonight and last week:
computer-apps-lesson-1
computer-apps-lesson-2

Here’s your homework for this week.

1. We agreed by consensus to use the textbook for reference.  You do not need to read the textbook assignments in the syllabus!  Instead, I will post our lessons each week and you must complete your homework assignments … to the letter … if you start to slack … I will assign 100s of pages in the textbook and create cunningly difficult test questions from it in order to punish you.
2. For the new students, James and Jeri, read the blog post below to see the homework after our first lesson.  You’ve got some catching up to do …
