Introduction to Information Technology 2

KOJIMA, Kazuaki
  Elective  2 credits
【Regional Economics・2nd semester】

1.
Outline
In this course, practices for enhancing skills to use Information-Communication Technology (ICT), which you had mastered in Introduction to Information Technology 1, are conducted in one of the Computer Laboratory (CL) rooms in the Utsunomiya campus, Teikyo university. You will acquire abilities to gather and process information, and to transmit and communicate information with proper representation. You will also learn meanings of explicitly and objectively representing problem solutions by experiencing having a computer solve problems. They serve as a basis for abilities in the curriculum policy 3.
2.
Objectives
In this course, you will enhance skills to use ICT, which you had mastered in Introduction to Information Technology 1. You will be required to master the following skills and attitudes through the course.
* You can quickly type characters without watching a keyboard (touch typing).
* You can understand physical and logical structures of a document. You can compose a good document based on the structures.
* You can compose and perform oral presentation while adjusting it to audiences.
* You can perform problem solving in a group. You can record things in it. You can report the processes and outcomes in it.
* You can explain meanings of explicit and objective representation of problem solutions so the solutions can be effectively executed by people and computers.
* You can respect your friends in collaborative learning, and successfully accomplish work.
Each class is comprised of a lecture by the lecturer and practice using a computer by yourself.
3.
Grading Policy
Your grade will be assessed by evaluating products in each practice (document composition 5%, presentation skill 5%, peer-review of presentation 5%, problem solving in a computer 10%), the performance in presentation of problem-solving practices (15%), contribution in group work (15%), the performance in the final task (35%), and the performance in typing examination (10%).
To earn the credits, you must satisfy the following five conditions.
(1) You must attend the specified number of or more classes.
(2) You must join group work in problem-solving practices and perform presentation.
(3) You must submit a report for an exercise in problem solving in a computer.
(4) You must take typing examination.
(5) You must submit the response to the final task and pass it.
4.
Textbook and Reference
All the materials are provided in the LMS. You use software installed in computers in the CL.
