Computer software
How can I adapt a class that is requiring a certain level of knowledge with a computer program when it was installed late in the quarter and doesn't work properly?
Hi Nancy,
That is a difficult situation because the issues with the software were not identified early enough. In my opinion what you should do is trying to get the student to install the application at home or in a lap, provide them with external material such as tutorials that can help in their understanding of the application. Then, as a recommendation complete the application installation early enough the next term and make sure it is properly tested.
Hi Nancy,
What a difficult situation to try and teach in. I would concentrate on the core competencies that the students have to have in your area and see if the bugs can be worked out. Trying to achieve the knowledge level with a program that doesn't work is an exercise in frustration on the part of everyone.
