Computer Applications
Teacher: Mrs. Cioffi
This class, like Constitutional Foundations, is also one of the easier classes. Yes, there are a good deal of processes to remember, as well as some complicated vocabulary, most of it is pretty simple once you get the hang of it. If you paid attention in class and did well on most of your assignments, then you probably don't need too much review when it comes to the creation of PowerPoints, Excel spreadsheets and charts, and flyers on Word. Don't forget to study this class in detail, though, or you most likely won't do well on the exam; it's the vocab that will get you.
