This course provides basic formatting and skill development for employment or personal use. The course builds upon skills learned in BUS 2 and develops additional computer keyboarding skills in the creation of word processing documents. Formatting applications include: business correspondence, reports, and tables. Basic document formatting, grammar, spelling, punctuation, and proofreading are reinforced throughout. Students will use basic features of an office-level word processing program. (CSU)

Justification: (Reasons for the above changes.)

This class was inactivated several years ago and replaced with two 1.5 unit classes to be offered in the Open Entry Lab. Keyboarding is a life-long skill. Every person attending college needs keyboarding skills to complete their education and to use in the world of work. There are very few jobs that do not require computer/keyboarding skills. BUS 81A and 81B (both 1.5 unit classes) will be deleted and replaced by BUS 3 which a 3-unit class. Since we no longer have the Open Entry Lab, we have no need to offer short-term classes. Both Reedley and Fresno City Community Colleges offer transferrable keyboarding classes.

Symbols are used frequently in computer programming languages. Of course, the plus (+), minus (-), and equals (=) keys are used. The asterisk (*) is used as a multiplication sign, and the diagonal (introduced in the next session) is used for division. It is important that we key symbols just as quickly as we key numbers and letters.

A variety of letter styles are used today for both personal and business letters. The letter format presented in this book is the block style. In the block-style letter, all part of the letter begins at the left margin. The clock-style letter is popular because it is comparatively easy to learn, and it is the fastest letter style to set up. Once you have mastered the block style letter, you will have little difficulty adjusting to other letter styles.

Even with a complete outline of the ideas and information to be covered in a manuscript, many writers have a difficult time writing the first paragraph, which introduces the topic and states the main point, or thesis. An effective introduction opens with a few sentences that "hook" the reader's interest. It concludes with a statement of the main point of the manuscript. Above all, do not make the mistake of beginning you paper with the words "I am writing this manuscript because…" or "The purpose of this manuscript is to…." Unimaginative statements such as these tend to immediately turn off the reader. Instead, use on the following "hooks":
