  • Using Calc to process and display data, such as those acquired from databases available on the internet.
  • Using Write to produce simple scientific documents.
  • Using Impress to produce simple scientific presentations.

Prerequisites

To use spreadsheets properly, students should have basic mathematical, reasoning, and analytical skills, typically covered by mathematics courses in the first year.


Teaching Methods

Teaching takes place over 10-12 weeks, including either 2 hours of classroom lessons or guided laboratory. During the semester, there will be two assessments during class time and home exercises (working in a group).
